Tridia has an export license (technically an exception for mass market applications I think) for TridiaVNC Pro. In the application process we disclosed the use of standard OpenSSL for encryption, including the ability to change the asymmetric (key exchange) and symmetric (payload) key lengths through configuration options. We completed the process before Sept. 11, however, I have not heard of any changes in the US export rules. Maybe someone who has been through the process in the US since then would care to comment.
