What are the technical parameters for mass market products in the newly created Cryptography Note?
The Cryptography Note in Part 774 states that ECCNs 5A002 and 5D002 do not control encryption items that meet certain distribution and technical criteria. The technical criteria are that the cryptographic functionality cannot be easily changed by the user, the product is designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier, and the product does not contain a “symmetric algorithm” using a key length greater than 64-bit. Note that exporters may now self classify items that meet the criteria of the Cryptography Note after submitting the information in Supplement 6 to Part 742. Technical information on the product must be available, upon request, to BXA.
