SRP and libcrypt are authentication systems, not data encryption - some of the modules, like DES or Blowfish password encryption make use of libraries which contain general-purpose (reversible) encryption, but my code does not link directly to such cryptographic libraries. The version I left behind in australia contains those modules, so Mark Murray or someone else could easily keep them in sync with any API changes to the main library. As far as I was aware (and I'll recheck the reference to this in _The Electronic Privacy Papers_ by Schneier tonight) authentication systems were exempted from restrictions some years ago.
