Heh... Well, actually, I did. Here. I mean.
Somebody can shoot me now. :-).
Actually, somebody else sent the original off to cypherpunks under my name
somehow, and I was replying to *that* message. Serves me right for not
noticing that cypherpunks wasn't anywhere but in the sender header when I
replied to it. Makes me wish I could decode received headers a little bit.
Anyway, I did, however, send the first message to *these* three lists, and
in pennance for the above rather contentless goof, (and since I haven't
heard anything here yet :-)), I figured I'd expand things a little bit.
Now, I understand that Americans can't give code to foreigners :-) these
days, and obviously they can't actually export it, by sending it out of the
country, in electronic form. I remember in Anguilla last year, for example,
I had to swear I was an American in order to get my Crypto IButton from the
Java guy.
So, again, what I'm really interested in finding out is, if you had a group
of American cryptographic engineers in the same room, is there anything you
could do in that room that you couldn't do if there were any foriegn
nationals present?
Cheers,
