1.3 ! deraadt 23: List of Canada</a> places no significant restriction on the export of
1.1 deraadt 24: cryptographic software, and is in fact even more explicit about the
1.2 deraadt 25: free export of freely-available cryptographic software. Marc Plumb
26: has also done a
27: <a href=http://insight.mcmaster.ca/org/efc/pages/doc/crypto-export.html>

1.3 ! deraadt 31: Hence the OpenBSD project has embedded cryptography into numerous places
! 32: in the operating system. We require that the cryptographic software we
! 33: use be <a href=policy.html>freely available and with good licenses</a>.
! 34: We also require that such software is from a countries with useful export
! 35: licenses because we do not wish to break any laws at all.
1.1 deraadt 36:
37: <ul>
38: <li>Strong blowfish based password entries.
39: <li>KerberosIV fully integrated.
40: <li>IPSEC with 10+ cyphers integrated into the OS.
41: <li>IPSEC Photuris daemon
42: <li>Strong random number components used in numerous places.
43: <li>All the normal DES code in libc, where it belongs.
44: <li>(What have I missed?)
