Speaking about which: isn't Certification Authority software subject to EAR
export controls? I'm asking because Hongkong Post (the Hong Kong Post
Office) has announced that they will start to offer CA services (being in
fact the first legally recognized local CA), and will use a system provided
by HP. HP swears that there are no backdoors or covert channels to leak bits
of the CA's root key, and Hongkong Post believes them, but then I wonder how
they got an export license.
