- digi_owl 8y agoBest i recall, from back when the PGP thing was going down, was that anything above 90-bit keys (or some such) was basically considered the equivalent of a military weapon. So if you wanted to offer it to anyone outside of USA, you were treated as if you were trying to deal in tanks or fighter jets.
