SRP and libcrypt are authentication systems, not data encryption - some
of the modules, like DES or Blowfish password encryption make use of
libraries which contain general-purpose (reversible) encryption, but my
code does not link directly to such cryptographic libraries. The version
I left behind in australia contains those modules, so Mark Murray or
someone else could easily keep them in sync with any API changes to the
main library.
As far as I was aware (and I'll recheck the reference to this in _The
Electronic Privacy Papers_ by Schneier tonight) authentication systems
were exempted from restrictions some years ago.
