As I understand, companies from the USA are not allowed to export encryption
software based on DES. What does this mean ? Has it to do with the key length ?
What do the DCE Security Services (Kerberos) contain as encryption ? Do I have
to buy DCE from a European company ? We just bought a software product, which
uses Kerberos as authentication method ? Is this(legally)  possible ?

Ok. Maybe, I am completely wrong and confused. So, can soemone clarify what is
going on here ?
