For PGP they once did a big effort to get it out of the country (printing the source, exporting it and scanning it again; that was a loophole then). After all, you can IMPORT cryptography into the US without problems... > > Is it not just the strongest rsa that is restricted, meaning not > forbidden but some negotiation must take place ?

And I just learned yesterday that as of 2010 the red tape obviously got a bit simpler. Although it still has some formal registration processes that takes weeks in it. > > All cryptography is not developed in the US ?

Problem is: Apple is a US company and they _want_ to obey US law (they don't want trouble, either) so they require it even though technically only a few countries would be affected (the ones where the App is being sold through the US App Store but which are not the US). Apple doesn't want three different processes either, I suppose. > > Edit: carefully read the links, so it is a automated registration > process, that basically almost in every case allows standard methods > when you have done then the paperwork and registred. Yes, that's what I said above. When I last checked (which was before that change) it was a different, much more complex process, I might go through that one and use encryption in a few places where I would love to.
