"Import of a cryptology means that does not exclusively perform authentication or integrity control functions without prior declaration."
Wow, so me and everyone who has entered France with a laptop or phone in the last 15 years has been guilty of this "crime"?
- gniv 2y agoWhy would you assume Apple etc did not provide these declarations?
- codedokode 2y agoDo open-source projects on Gihub and Linux distributions, available in France, have proper certification? I doubt it. France should arrest developers and maintainers then. And you definitely can find hacking tools on Github as well.
- layer8 2y agoThere are exemptions for development, testing, and personal use, among other things. And the restrictions apply to “products”, which GitHub projects by themselves probably don’t constitute.
- Canada 2y agoYou're right, looks like Apple has a form for it if you public an app in the app store that supports encryption other than what is provided by Apple. I see posts from app developers complaining about it and debating whether to check the "none" box or just leave France out. Presumably Google does the same. Now that I know, I'm actually surprised that Telegram would not have filed that form given its size. How could they have gotten it through Apple's review without doing it?
