In their ongoing efforts to impose the US's export controls on their own countries, it looks like Australia and New Zealand are moving more and more into line with the requirements set by the NSA. A recent story in The Age (a Melbourne, Australia newspaper), "Export ban kills Nexus' WHO deal" by Suelette Dreyfus, contains the following comment from the DSD: >Government approval is also needed for software with an interface specially >designed for inserting cryptography, even if the program didn't contain any >cryptography. Although I'd always assumed this to be the case (the US does it so Australia and NZ would too), this is the first time it's been explicitly stated. Are there any other countries which have explicit crypto-with-a-hole restrictions? Peter.
