Take the tour ×  Which aspects do I need to consider when
designing and publishing software that must meet the US export
restrictions for cryptographic software?  Wikipedia says that
there are various categories which you can assign to
cryptographic software. And the export destination (e.g. China,
Russia) does play a major role as well. But I didn't really
understand those restrictions and their effect on my work.  Can
anybody explain that to me?  I'm asking because if you try to
publish your application (e.g. on Apple's App Store or Android's
Market) you have to assure that your application meets the US
export restrictions. And there are lots of applications who
offer secure information storage, e.g. for passwords.  Have they
all notified the government and asked for a review? Of course,
you cannot know if they did. But do they need to do this?
