Let me clarify something since several readers have asked me about it.
First, any cryptographic product (H/W or S/W) to be exported MUST have
an export license from the Office of Munitions Control of the
Department of State.
This is not strictly true. Products that use cryptography solely for
authentication purposes may be classified as being controlled by the Commerce
Department rather than needing a Munitions License. In general it is wise to
obtain a characterization of your product from the State Department (read NSA)
before you attempt to go through Commerce.
The version of Kerberos V5 that is included in the OSF DCE has been modified to
be exportable under Commerce Department jurisdiction.
