While there has been some relaxation in the export requirements, there are many restrictions still in place for strong encryption products.

You are advised to consult your export/import control counsel or attorney to determine the exact requirements. • Q: Now that the export requirements have been relaxed, can I download the JSSE 1.0.2 reference implementation if I’m in a country that has been subject to a US Government embargo?
