I am unaware of the restriction laws placed upon the US in terms of encryption. Could someone clarify them for me? 1) If Robert were to write code on a machine that is in a foreign country, would it have been considered exported? (Xterm on a cs.hut.fi machine for example to code in) Even if he is in the US while doing so? 2) Can we still do the moving by paper to another country and scanning it in? Is that legitimate or been deemed illegal? 3) If I write a disk encryptor that sits on the MBR and transfer the disk out of country, is that a no-no?
