I was given a birthday gift by EA

Yeah, that sounds familiar - I remember reading something about encryption that's higher than a certain number of bits (8?) is classified as military grade ::)
Hook:
Here's some good info on the problem:
http://ciphersaber.gurus.com/
This site includes instructions on how to build your own high security encryption program. If you're a programmer, the instructions enable you to write the encryption software in pretty much any computer language. They have an encrypted certificate you can download and decrypt using your new software.
EDIT: The actual instructions are no longer on the site. There is, however, a link to the book they originally came from. There's lots more information about encryption and laws for those interested.

From what I remember about the encryption row - 4-5 years ago? - America tried to suppress or restrict the use of the higher level encryption. Then everyone else in the world knew how to do it and was using it, but it was still classified as a military grade secret in America - and illegal to be used by the average Joe Blow.
I remember thinking it was very funny at the time.
ZephyrZodiac:
Funny, illogical and ISOLATIONIST! There's a whole wide world outside the US, haven't these guys noticed? Or have they been holed up in some bunker for so long they think the world ends at the wall?
laeshanin:
But didn't you know that the USA is THE only country in the world! All t'others merely satelites that wander across its vision as if from some wild faerie dream... ;D
