9.6.1. "Has crypto been restricted in countries other than the
U.S.?"
- Many countries have restrictions on civilian/private use of
crypto. Some even insist that corporations either send all
transmissions in the clear, or that keys be provided to the
government. The Phillipines, for example. And certainly
regimes in the Communists Bloc, or what's left of it, will
likely have various laws restricting crypto. Possibly
draconian laws....in many cultures, use of crypto is
tantamount to espionage.
