12:01 Export restrictions on cryptography in the United States

While sourceforge beats in hysterics, let's honor the U.S. law on the subject of export restrictions. For example, ECCN 5D002, about which everyone has heard, but nobody read it. United States permit the export of software with no restrictions and Review if all The following paragraphs are met: The code is regulated by export restrictions ECCN 5D002 The code is publicly available Sent notification to the US Government's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Opensorsnye program automatically fall under the second paragraph. But what is point number one? Now try to understand. Falls under its scope: Software designed for the development, modification, or any other use of software from this list, or software with a symmetric cipher length of more than 56 bits, or software with asymmetrical cipher uses the expansion of an integer into prime factors with the key length to 512 bits (eg, RSA); or software that uses the calculation of discrete logarithms over finite fields or other operations on discrete algorithms with key length of more than 112 bits (eg, elliptic curves). Software for cryptanalysis. Specifically stated that the packaging and coding are not subject to this act. 3. «Cryptography» does not include «fixed» data compression or coding techniques. The hash functions are not cryptographic algorithms with symmetric / asymmetric keys at all, so do not even consider. From a public software, after such a filtration are American Browsers that these restrictions have always been special software such as TrueCrypt. More can be read on apache.org.
