    I have applied for an export license to export a 160 bit version of
Kremlin to "the overseas subsidiaries of US corporations and financial
institutions" and maybe to "the unaffiliated overseas strategic partners of
US corporations and financial institutions". This is called an Encryption
Licensing Arrangement. The BXA is slow and clunky (the last time I sent in
the application, I forgot to sign it, and I had to start the process all
over again). Does anyone have a list of other companies that have applied
for an ELA? I know PGP has.
    Also, I'm testing out an export restriction CGI script. Could a few
people from the US, Canada, and Outside of the US try to download from it --
it should reject you if you are outside of the US and Canada, but I want to
test it, as a mistake could land me in jail...
    It's at: http://www.mach5.com/download/ksecure_download.html
    Thanks.
