Chrome, Firefox and IE ship with very strong encryption (128 bit AES) just fine for many years now.

That cat is out of the bag.




I read in the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) somewhere that 128-bit AES is under the threshold so can be self-classified (but IANAL!). Anything stronger and the legal constraints seemed to be more than onerous.

Cat is quantum undetermined in my book - maybe someone from Open Whisper Systems, Signal Foundation, or the Freedom of the Press Foundation will share some wisdom.


Or they secretly allow it because they know something we don't.
