[Is that a correct statement Garrett?] Not quite. libdescrypt was designed in such a way that I believe the State Department would admit that it doesn't actually do encryption, which would then allow you to apply to the Commerce Department for a declaration that it is exportable as ``technical data''. You still have to apply to the State Department first before attempting to export the binary. For extra safefty, the subfunctions called by crypt() could be inlined. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
