As the next IETF meeting will be in Paris, and France has had something a reputation for placing strict controls on the use of cryptography, I took a look.. (This is, of course, a matter of potential concern to those of us who carry laptops with encryption software for personal use to every IETF meeting...) It appears that France may have recently substantially liberalized its regulation of cryptography. A site at: http://rechten.uvt.nl/koops/cryptolaw/cls2.htm#fr has what claims to be a summary. There appears to be a personal use exemption of some sort but there's no mention of re-export of the laptop you imported when you entered the country.. I'm not particularly worried as most of these laws are rarely enforced in other countries. Anyone have a better idea? - Bill _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
