- trasz 5y agoOf course not - they are free, you don't need to import them. If you meant "Cisco VPN gateway" then yes, and I wonder if China is actually going to prevent import of cryptography hardware that's known to be broken or backdoored.
- caymanjim 5y agoWhat makes you think that cost (or lack thereof) has anything to do with whether or not something is imported? The two things are completely orthogonal.
- trasz 5y agoThe law being discussed regulates import and export of commercial appliances. It doesn't apply to free software.
- dragonelite 5y agoIt's a legit concern given the Crypto AG gate that happened a while ago. Where the so called reputation of swish neutrality was destroyed, if i'm not mistaken the German and American Intelligence agency had compromised the encryption hardware.
- trasz 5y agoIt's a legit concern given that it's not just Crypto AG, IIRC backdoors were also found in Cisco and bunch of other gear.
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoNope, none of that uses symmetric keys >256 bits. Nothing does. The only reason to go >256 bits is if your crypto is getting attacked by an adversary with a Dyson Sphere-sized quantum computer, or an adversary that's found a way around the laws of thermodynamics. Either way, you have big problems.
