Abstract
Cryptography is a fundamental security technology. It is used in applications ranging from authentication and digital signatures to protecting the privacy and integrity of emails and other forms of interactions. Besides a technology, cryptography has become a topic for front page news. Governments around the world are debating and passing laws concerning the export and (sometimes) the use of cryptography. This talk will discuss the current international scene for cryptography technology. We will discuss today’s situation with regards to cryptography export as well as future trends. We will also discuss some new technologies that may provide solutions for manufacturers and software developers while complying with international regulations.
