I knew that cryptography algorithms are subject to U.S export rules, the part that I learned yesterday was the solution that JDK 5.0 has applied for this reason:
The JCE framework, along with the SunJCE provider that comes standard with it, is exportable.
The JCE architecture allows flexible cryptographic strength to be configured via jurisdiction policy files. Due to the import restrictions of some countries, the jurisdiction policy files distributed with the JDK 5.0 software have built-in restrictions on available cryptographic strength, which you can replace with a separated published JCE policies to activate the full strength.
Neat huh?
