I believe IPsec just ran into a larger problem... parts excerpted for
fair use. The Wassenaar countries include the home countries of all
the IPsec participants, so far as I know.

U.S. wins global tech export limits
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Clinton
administration officials Thursday said
they had convinced other leading countries
to impose strict new export controls on
computer data scrambling products under
the guise of arms control.
At a meeting on Thursday in Vienna, the 33
countries that have signed the Wassenaar
Arrangement limiting arms
exports-including Japan, Germany and
Britain-agreed to impose controls on the
most powerful data scrambling
technologies, including for the first time
mass market software, U.S. special envoy
for cryptography David Aaron told Reuters.
The United States, which restricts exports
of a wide range of data scrambling
products, has long sought without success
to convince other countries to impose
similar restrictions.
[...]
Aaron said the Wassenaar countries agreed
to continue export controls on powerful
scrambling, or encryption, products in
general but ended an exemption for widely
available software containing encryption.
The new policy also reduced reporting and
paperwork requirements and specifically
excluded from export controls products
that used encryption to protect
intellectual property, like movies or
recordings sent over the Internet, from
illegal copying, Aaron said.
