Lordgrey asks for a BXA URL:
BXA info on the new crypto policy:
http://www.bxa.doc.gov/whatsnew.htm
http://207.96.11.93/Encryption/Default.htm
The only info there not issued by the White House is a list
of the 45 countries who get favorable treatment.
CDT says the implementation regs are due to be issued by
BXA sometime in October, and to watch out: "the devil is in
the details."
In the meantime the 11 corporations who announced support
for the new policy will continue hemming, hawing and heeding
threat of license delay:
Here they are:
Ascend, Cisco Systems, 3Com, Hewlett-Packard Company,
Intel, Netscape Communications, Network Associates, Novell,
RedCreek Communications, Secure Computing, Sun
Microsystems.
One bit of sunshine, though, is Germany has announced that it
will lead a Euro attack on US crypto export limits because they
harm economic security:
