About commons codec ver 1.1 and export control rules
Dear All,
Would you be so kind to help me in answering the following question ?
Does "common codec ver 1.1" contain "symmetric cryptographic algorithms
employing a key length in excess of 56 bits or an asymmetric algorithm"
?
In general is there any document that gives the export control
classification for Commons Codec ?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Cristina

Right - Codec has wrapper code for one way hash algorithms (sha1/md5
digests), but not to encryption algorithms.

There is documentation on this for the whole ASF here:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/
Theres an "Apache Commons" section - and as Codec is not listed there
then AFAIK that means there is no cryptographic functionality in
Codec.
