It is true not for US only. In Russia it is also so named FAPSI, which is
controlling all encription (and buisness-encription) related software.

You are wrong. Have you seen somewhat about GOST? ;-)))) It's a word about
russian encription software. In other hand, I was reading one article about
encription from UK, Finland etc... I don't remember where it was published,
but it is.
Good Luck!

P.S.: It was known try to get across US export licenses - JAR & ARJ
(last versions) from R. Jung which are using GOST as a strong encription
algorothm. This software can used inside US and most other countries
without any low related restrictions...
