At the risk of being flamed for being a hopeless newbie, or perhaps as
one asking a practical question about export regs, (something that seems
in bad taste lately) I will nevertheless proceed:
Are hash functions (MD5 specifically) controlled by export regs?
Of course I know that any answer is subject to change at any time, and
this question is probably pointless in the context of ongoing events,
yet I have never been one to shy away from something just because it's
pointless.
I welcome your thoughts.
