Date: 18 April 2003 From: Matt Blaze This service has been temporarily suspended due to the sobig virus. No new mail will be forwarded or logged; export reports should be sent directly to crypt@bis.doc.gov and enc@ncsc.mil . Date: 18 April 2003 From: Matt Blaze For the last three years, I've operated the mail alias, "exports@crypto.com", that publicly archives in this file and forwards to the government authorities announcements of the public availability of cryptographic software. The idea was that since current US export regulations require notifying the government any time such software is made available, it might be useful to have a mechanism that lets the rest of us know at the same time. It was started on a whim, at the suggestion of someone on the cryptography@wasabisystems.com mailing list, if I recall correctly. The alias forwards messages sent to it to crypt@bis.doc.gov and enc@ncsc.mil and archives the mail at http://www.crypto.com/exports/mail.txt. According to my server logs, this (large) file gets a few hits an hour. As of today, 128 announcements of crypto software availability have been forwarded through it. They are attached below, starting with the first message. Lately, the flow of announcement messages has been dwarfed by the bombardment of spam that you'd expect a relatively long-lived, widely-published email address to receive. The alias gets about 100 spam messages a day (I don't keep track any more). By way of contrast, messages announcing crypto software arrive at the rate of about one per month. I don't delete the spam anymore, except when the file system starts to fill up. -matt blaze =================================================================== The following are export notices that were sent to exports@crypto.com. Each message sent to that address is appened to this file (in the order received, with new messages at the end), and appear here unedited and immediately. All messages are also forwarded upon receipt to crypt@bis.doc.gov and enc@ncsc.mil, the official email addresses to which U.S. crypto export notices are supposed to be sent.
