If my memory serves me right, you can't use a key stronger than 128 bits except for software and uses authorized by the DCSSI. OpenSSL and GnuPG are authorized (thanks to France FSF): OpenSSL > 0.9.6d => SSH, SSL, SSH/SSL encryption GunPG > 1.0.7 => file/communication signature and encryption Are exempt from authorization: - Customised smart cards - Television reception equipment for the general public - Hardware or software means specially designed to protect software against copies or illegal use - cryptology equipment used in bank transactions - Portable or mobile radio telephones for civil applications - Cell phone radiocommunication base stations - Cryptology equipment accompanying foreign dignitaries when officially invited by the State.
