That has nothing to do with it's use. See ITAR for more details. So Javier's suggestion as a reverse argument is not valid. The argument however for moving the DNSO server out of France due to problems with AUTHENTICATION using 128 bit keys remains, although they can use 56 bit encryption in France, with some restrictions.
