Re: Back to MD5, et. al.

If you want to export anything outside the US and europe, you already need to have outdated technology.

Even openssl is considered export controlled despite it being easily available. Put it in your product and you are limited where you can sell it. This despite the ability for a 12 year old kid being able to set it up and use it on a raspberry pi.

At some point politicians will understand that encryption is just maths at work and trying to restrict it is self defeating
