That strikes me as an overly-conservative reading of the rules, but it's been some time since I was involved in this stuff. After all, there is no key in a hash function. Notification was required for open source, or a commodity classification for a product that had general encryption facilities. If the notification for hash is (still?) required, I believe you can do it now via a simple phone call. To anyone. #thanks_prism. /r$ _______________________________________________ The cryptography mailing list cryptography@metzdowd.com http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
