Hello, all. I feel like I've come across an undiscovered gem here. At first glance, I was surprised to learn that no one cracked the code yet in this latest contest. My understanding is that all codes can be cracked if given the time and resources. JAWZ has taken an interesting stance on this position (the following is all my wording): "Yes, any code can be cracked, but if it takes you 1,000 years to crack our code, we have for all practical purposes produced an 'uncrackable' code." I would agree with this. Compared to a 56-bit key code, a 4,096 key code is monstrously huge and a smart step to take if you're serious about encryption safety. Anyway, I have a question: If USA law mandates a 56-bit key code maximum, who is JAWZ going to sell their product to? Am I correct in assuming that any company in America that uses a key code above 56-bit will be breaking the law? I'm sure I just don't understand this, so someone please help me out. Thanks, Chris
