Powerful encryption programs does exist outside the US, like PGP. The current US export laws does restrict export of encryption source code in ELECTRONIC form, but it does not restrict the export of source code in BOOK form. This is a very nice "back-door" which can be exploited by anyone armed with the Source code book, a scanner, and OCR software. Of couse, since the source code is currently on over 12.000 pages it does require a lot of work, but the pay-off is a legal version of PGP outside the US. The US version of the source code even have a few limitations and restrictions which is not relevant outside the US, the Non-US version have these removed and a few extra features added. The International PGP can be found at PGPi

So even though the US goverment restricts the export of encryption source code and software, I'm still able to enjoy my legal freeware copy of PGP and my 4096 bit key. :)

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
