Don't start jumping up and down and cheering yet, though; there's another problem. That problem, alas, is the word "unrestricted." The only code that's "unrestricted," according to the new regs, is code that uses keys of 64 or fewer bits. Or at least that's how I understand the draft at http://www.cdt.org/crypto/admin/000110cryptoregs.shtml --Brett At 04:08 PM 1/13/2000 , Rodney W. Grimes wrote: > > At 10:23 AM 1/13/2000 , Jordan K.
