Abstract

As exciting as cryptography can be, dabbling in it may also come with a few rather unpleasant unforeseen legal ramifications – when dealing with certain jurisdictions, that is. We'll now take a gander at digital encryption technology from the sometimes overlooked legal point of view. Starting from the vast landmass called America, we'll have covered most the world's cryptographic restrictions by the end of this chapter. Also, the related matter of various categories of US privacy legislation are explored.
