>1) What is the key size used by the USA licensed version?
Charlie Kaufmann goes into moderate detail on Lotus Note's
encryption scheme in "Network Security: Private communication
in an public world"
Each user has both strong (~512 bit) and weak (~400 bit) RSA keys.
These, and strong (64 bit) or weak (40 bit) symmetrical session keys
are used depending on the location of the users.
