Cryptography Restrictions

Many countries, like the US, have laws which regulates cryptography usage or export. Because SafeBit uses strong cryptography it is restricted by such laws.

The US Export Restrictions

The trial version of SafeBit restricts the key length to 5 characters (only 40-bits). Therefore it is re-exportable from the US. This restriction is only for the encryption process. You can decrypt a disk which was encrypted with the full version (and a key larger than 5 characters).

The full version has no key-length restrictions. It cannot be exported from US or Canada but it can be legally imported (because Neobyte Solutions is not an US vendor).
