There is a good rough guide to the law in the Cisco Press book Implementing Cisco Security.

I believe this is why C2 developes Stornghold outside the US. We can't export it but, they can't do anything about products that are devoloped outside of the US. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc -- Support your government, give Echelon / Carnivore something to parse -- classfield top-secret government restricted data information project CIA KGB GRU DISA DoD defense systems military systems spy steal terrorist Allah Natasha Gregori destroy destruct attack democracy will send Russia bank system compromise international own rule the world ATSC RTEM warmod ATMD force power enforce sensitive directorate TSP NSTD ORD DD2-N AMTAS STRAP warrior-T presidental elections policital foreign embassy takeover --------------------------------------------------------------------------

128-bit crypto is allowed almost everywhere. For a precise view country per country check: http://www2.epic.org/reports/crypto2000/ Now if you are US based, your problem is to know if you are allowed to export 128-bit crypto to a given country. To check this out go to: http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/Default.htm It is my understanding that: U.S. exporters will be able to export and reexport all encryption items, except cryptanalytic products and their related technology, immediately to EU member states, Australia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland and Switzerland without a license (i.e., under a license exception). For other countries you need a license. The following countries (zones) are banned of 128-bit product exports: Afghanistan (Taliban-controlled areas), Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Serbia (except Kosovo), Sudan and Syria.
