- please correct me if i'm wrong, but in reading the FAQ my mind started
- to boggle & i need to clarify this:
-
- 1. RSA is pretty much a standard in Europe.
- 2. it is illegal to export RSA stuff from the US.
-
- now i've always thought the US government was a bit bass ackwards,
- but this is just silly.
-
- am i reading this right? if it's true why is export of encryption
- schemes so much of a problem? apparently they're already out there.
