Hey, just a thought... does anyone know the "edge" of what say, Americans, are allowed to discuss with , say, non-American's, with respect to crypto...
I got zapped for an email to Australia once...
Zapped by whom? And what did you say? Note that the *discussion* of crypto has always been pretty open, especially as regarding published algorithms (they still get touchy if you start chatting about NSA-only code ;). Note that discussion can be quite detailed - the source code of PGP was released as a book.. ;) The *big* problem was (until lately) the inability to export *source code* or *object code* for crypto software. -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
