Historically, a number of countries have attempted to restrict the import of cryptography tools. ==Rationale== Countries may wish to restrict import of cryptography technologies for a number of reasons: * Imported cryptography may have backdoors or security holes (i.e. the Freak vulnerability), intentional or not, which allow the country or group who created the backdoor technology, for example the National Security Agency (NSA), to spy on persons using the imported cryptography; therefore the use of cryptography is restricted to that which the government thinks is safe, or which it develops itself. * Citizens can anonymously communicate with each other, preventing any external party from monitoring them. * Encrypted transactions may impede external entities to control the conducting of business. * Cryptography may sometimes increase levels of privacy within the country beyond what the government wishes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Restrictions on the import of cryptography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
