When I read that at first, I thought crypto was short for cryptography, and you were referring to the crypto wars, back when most cryptography was classified as arms (weapons) in the US and it was illegal to distribute cryptographic software in many cases.
One of my instructors in college attended a US college, but during his PhD would drive to Canada to write all the code, so that the code could be legally distributed. If it was written in the US, it couldn't be.
