Talk:Restrictions on the import of cryptography

This should not be merged with Export of Cryptography, which is almost entirely a discussion of the fight against US restrictions on exporting cryptography. This article discusses the international situation with regards to taking cryptographic into other countries - something which may have far greater implications for those doing so than people who were battling the US government!

Any changes to this page would be really useful. This information doesn't seem to be collated anywhere on the web more recently than the 2000 EPIC report, which has some important ommissions. What is the current global situation with the import/export of cryptography? Dunxd 16:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Rationale
As stated in my note, this is basically speculation and original research, or common sense depending on your point of view. If people feel this violates WP principles, it won't cause me any heartburn if it is deleted or replaced with something better. -Fuzzy (talk) 21:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

This is definitely speculative, and given that the sorts of countries that put these restrictions in place tend not to be open, the rationale for a particular restriction is not often something that can be easily discovered. I guess as a placeholder this will do, but I'd hate to see someone quoting this article to justify a restriction based on "terrorists use cryptography". Dunxd (talk) 08:58, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

"Red" in Belarus?
I live in Belarus and haven't yet seen restrictions of cryptography.

Reply to anonymous: Just because the goverment might not be enforcing their own laws - it does not mean they do not exist. Read this to check 90.177.39.150 (talk) 08:44, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

What is "Red" and "Yellow"
There is a definition of Green, but no of Red and Yellow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vi2 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
