Subject: Export restrictions for JCE 1.2

Hi,

I would like to ask the following question: so far, all security-
related software originating within the U.S. has scaled-down
versions that can be exported (e.g., SSL modules capable only
for RC4/40 etc.).

Is this not the case for JCE 1.2 as well? In other words, is the
*whole JCE 1.2 API* unavailable to non-US or Canada residents,
or is there a scaled-down, export version available?

I am asking because I think JCE 1.2 is a major improvement in
Java security and we would like to use it for student research
purposes here at ICCS. A scaled down version would perfectly
well serve that purpose, but if the whole API falls under
the export-restriction lawsuite, we 'll have to drop the idea.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Regards,
