It has long been a source of frustration that Kermit 95's security
features such as Kerberos, SSL/TLS, and now SSH could not leave the
confines of the USA and Canada. As of now, that's history; we now
have permission to export the cryptographic version of Kermit 95 to
most of the world's countries.
The United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS), via CCATS # G025631 dated 07/16/2002, has granted to Kermit 95:
. Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5D002
(Telecommunications and Information Security - Software),
Paragraph C.1.
. Export License Exception ENC (Encryption Commodities and Software)
under Sections 740.17(A) and 740.17(B)(3) of the US Export
Administration Regulations (EAR).
The License Exception allows export of the cryptographic version of K95
(i.e. the one that includes SSH, Kerberos, SSL/TLS, and other security
methods) to all countries except Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya,
Sudan, and Syria (this list of countries is specified in the applicable
sections of the EAR, and not chosen by us).
This means that:
. The "crypto" demo may now be downloaded in most countries:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95demo.html
. Bulk and Academic Site License orders from most countries will now
be filled by the cryptographic version:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/academic.html
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95pricing.html#bulk
. We can begin to put together the K95 2.x shrinkwrapped package;
however, this will still take some time due to other factors.
The Kermit website and download pages have been updated to reflect the new
situation; the e-academy site will follow shortly.
