Can anyone give me the facts on the current cryptography export laws for 
internal corporate use? That is, if my company wants to communicate safely with 
our own branch offices abroad via WANs, can we use 128 bit encryption for that 
communication? Or are we restricted to 40 bit once the communication leaves the 
US (virtual) border?

Much obliged,
