But you will have to *publish* the crypto, just printing it in a letter is not good enough. Fortunately, getting your 'work' published is not that hard; There are companies that specialize in low volume printing... > 3) If I write a disk encryptor that sits on the MBR > and transfer the disk out of country, is that a no-no? Maybe. It was for quite a while but right now there are some exceptions. You can get a license and promise that you won't give the stuff to foreigners and you are allowed to take the software with you. Check out the M$ or Netscape websites, I think it's covered there for their 128-bit browsers. Note: I'm not a lawyer and not an US citizen. Get legal advise before you do something. Mail me in private if you need addresses and such.
