If I remember, it's still illegal to export to "rogue states," Iran and North Korea being the major two, and terrorist organizations. But I don't think anybody has been charged for it and there's reason to suspect it wouldn't hold up given the pgp ruling.

We can't really export anything to those "rogue states" anyway. Also, as backwards as NK can act in some contexts, I dislike the classification of them as a rogue state. The kims are pretty good at geopolitics and wouldn't do anything stupid or dangerous without a good enough reason to make its actions no longer "rogue". If anything, the US is closer to a rogue state currently with its rubber stamp congress and willingness to do whatever the orangutan in charge says

		>We can't really export anything to those "rogue states" anyway Sure, but there are additional laws regarding cryptography, even in publicly available software. "Rogue states" is a legal designation, we can both dislike it as much as we want but I doubt the US will change it's view

I think that pretty much ended in the 90s.

		early 2000s so close enough. I know this because for a while, WEP was intentionally crippled in the US for a while because of the archaic encryption laws Sidenote, does anyone remember a "click here to become an international arms dealer" esque site as a protest of our encryption laws or did I make that up. I swear I heard that somewhere
