Hello,

this is my first posting in this forum.

I am developing an Android application that uses encryption. I am concerned 
about the strength of the encryption algorithm (AES), since different 
countries employ different security policies.

1) Generally: are there versions of Android with different security policy 
files in place? If so, do these policies vary with the country in which the 
devices are being sold? Can one replace these files in the Android system? 
How can one access these files?

2) What happens if an app requests an encryption strength (measured in the 
size of the key) that is outside a certain countries allowed range? Will 
the request be reduced (possibly silently) so some legal limit? Will there 
be a JAVA exception thrown?

3) How can an App test how strong AES is on a given device i.e. determine 
the maximum key size for AES )?

Thank you.

Regards,
