4.3   How about exporting encryption algorithms?

   This  is a somewhat grey area.  Until recently, it was illegal to export
strong  encryption  from  the  United States and Canada.  Over the last few
weeks,  the  US  government  has begun to change their policies on this, by
allowing  Netscape  and  Microsoft to export web-browsers containing strong
encryption code.

   What  this  means  for  Voyager  users  is somewhat up in the air at the
moment.

   What  is  not in dispute is that some encryption algorthims are patented
by  RSA  Laboratories,  Inc.   The  code  to  these  algorithms *cannot* be
exported, but international "versions" of these algorithms do exist that do
not  use  the RSA code.  SSLeay, the library that the international version
of Voyager uses, is such a "version".
