US government fines Intel's Wind River over crypto exports

Re: I cant believe it.

It's not that you can't export crypto to Israel, you just have to get permission first, and document who and where you are sending it so that the State Department can keep tabs on US companies producing products with crypto.

Re: I cant believe it.

You can check the instructions yourself for validity. As for back doors, it's really hard to implement crypto with no (easy) side channel attacks, but that was a major goal of NI.

Re: What about Apple?

Crypto only has to be present on the device. It doesn't have to be well implemented, or even used.
