Re: Encryption Algorithms

This is a little out of date. Commercial reality won. The US could not convince
the rest of the world that their various secrets services needed to be able to
spy on all. The maths really isn't that hard and a lot of product to perform
these operations were written and are available outside of the US. The
restrictions were basically nonsense. Fortunately I am not a US resident and
this nonsense has never effected me, though Australia did go through a period
were the US was trying to bring us into line and it got a little uncomfortable
for those actually working in the area for a while, but this has long past.
Those that wanted to convince us that multiplying two primes was as dangerous as
a Nuclear bomb have long gone to ground.
