The local Finnish computer weekly ("Tietoviikko") wrote in yesterday's
issue that HP has gotten export permission for 128-bit 3DES without
key escrow to a number of countries.  They mention VerSecure.

Does anyone know if this is true and what this is about?  Is this a
misunderstanding of the ICF, or something else?
