Title: RE: Re:A89: U.S. Encryption Laws
The U.S. Encryption Law is pretty strict compared to other countries.  I believe other countries can export 128-bit encryption.  The U.S. government is just scared of giving companies the ability to export that, they like having control over things.

Don't other countries research their own 128 bit and higher encryptions?  It seems that it would be hard to keep a lid on.

Right, only 56-bit encryption can be exported outside the U.S.
