Other exportable 40-bit algorithms

1997-04-17 16:16:35
Is there any alternative to RC2 40-bit that meets US export requirements
for symmetric algorithms, and does not require you to:

1. Wait an eternity for export approval
2. Register every sale of a product to a non-US/Canada
company/individual with the government
3. Require you to implement escrow features in your product

RC2 40-bit enjoys both an expedited export approval (I seem to remember
ours being a month) and does not have the burden of reporting individual
unit sales with the government.  Is this true of CAST 40-bit or DES-40?
