I'm also curious to know how Microsoft's CryptoAPI fits into this scheme
of things?
My understanding is that the MS Crypto API that is shiped overseas
contains only weak crypto. The API is also signed so that no new/modified
code can be added without the MS signature.
I don't know for sure but I would imagine that the export product makes
use of a different key then the domestic product so that the domestic code
will not run on the export version.
