/************************************************** * * * crYptography - steganographY - cYphers archive * * * **************************************************/ this document is in english for accessibility and as most young french people now read basic english. PRESENTATION i believe this to be one of the largest crypto resource on the net, we hope that as user or developper, you'll enjoy it. cryptography and steganography are not the serious thing they are often thought to be : their use is actually fun, and if not, a necessary evil to protect yourself against the advent of mass data mining. we would like to thank our nice host too :) EXPORT it is my understanding that Lionel Jospin legalised cryptography >128bit as long as you can provide the attorney general (procureur) with the key in France, a compagny producing cryptographic software should declare it to the DCSSI between 40 and 128bits, request permission if above 128. for signature and authentification only, none is required. IMPORTATION check the laws of your country before importation and usage. there are no export controls for cryptography in the Netherlands, CEE. http://www.scssi.gouv.fr/fr/reglementation/tab_synth.html "..Libre dans tous les cas si provenance d'un Etat appartenant a la Communaute europenne ou etant partie a l'accord instituant l'Espace economique europeen." all of the softwares presented here are on, were on, or transited by, servers in the Netherlands, which should therefore also grant their diffusion here. besides, since Jan 2003, the French government's project is to legalize completely cryptographic softwares, see http://www.mAdchAt.org/crypto/AFP-crypto-liberee.html DOWNLOAD http://mAdchAt.org/crypto/ share with us your preferred free-software cryptographic tools ftp://madchat.org/pub/incoming/ (plz provide the author's gpg-signed package) SOURCES this repositorium is a compilation of many sources i would like to acknowledge the great work of the administrators of : ftp.zedz.com ftp.wiretapped.net crypto.radiusnet.net http://munitions.vipul.net
