In early March, I filed a FOIA request with the Arms Control & Disarmament
Agency, a division of the Department of State, for a copy of the Wassenaar
Arrangement, a multinational agreement which is intended to regulate and
coordinate the regulation of military and "dual-use" items. (Cryptographic
software and hardware is often considered a "dual-use" item.)
I received a copy of the Arrangement last week, and have converted it to
HTML. It is available on the web at
<http://www.parrhesia.com/wassenaar/>, or
<https://www.parrhesia.com/wassenaar/> for the security-conscious.
The document itself does not refer to cryptography or cryptographic
software/hardware. The last page of the document - the "Munitions List" was
blank; but the document was marked "released in full". I'm going to compare
what I've got with the various pieces of the Arrangement which have been
released through other sources to see if I need to make a supplemental
request for more information.
It's pretty dry reading.
