"Prior to that year, Lotus had been restricted from exporting software
that used encryption keys that were longer than 40 bits by United
States law. Under an agreement with the US government, Lotus was
allowed to start exporting 64 bit keys, so long as 24 bits of each key
were recoverable using a special key issued by Lotus to the NSA. The
result was that the newer version of Lotus Notes provided stronger
protection against industrial espionage than any previous version had
been allowed to provide, and it provided no less protection against
decryption by the NSA than the previous versions had given."
