I'm teaching a course at a summer school right now in Budapest. I'm
thinking of giving a 1 hour lecture on the basics of cryptography:
private and public key, encrypted email, encrypted sessions,
authentication, digital cash, etc.
Most of the students are Eastern European. We have folks from Albania,
Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, etc.
As part of my course, I intend to talk some about the politics of
cryptographic software - GAK, EAR, etc. But I realize that these
policies might well be nothing compared to restrictions in their own
countries. Is there a good resource for cryptographic law in Eastern
Europe? What's on the books, what's the practicality?
Thanks
Nelson
