Apache-SSL and it's derivatives (stronghold etc) hold about %20+ (If I
remember correctly) of the secure web server market. There are no export
versions, only full strength. When cryptozilla (and non-USA browsers like
Opera) become more wide-spread, secure www will become a reality.
One nice thing to see is that the IETF is mandating that strong encryption
must be present in TLS and S/MIME(v3?), otherwise it is not TLS or S/MIME.
TLS is available in cryptozilla, and S/MIME will not be too long.
