NULL cipher suites exist in the SSL/TLS specifications.

It's hard to find intelligible up to date information on that matter but
things have changed since june 2004 (Loi n°2004-575). It seems that as
long as the "provider" of encryption is known you're pretty much free to
do whatever you want. But you get punished harder if you're using
encryption for naughty criminal stuff. I found nothing about limits on
key sizes.
