[vlc] Re: Encryption and ECCN code

[Magnus Svensson (TN/EAB)]

Hi,

After some investigation and reading my conclusion is that VLC should have ECCN code 5D992. I can't guarantee that this is correct but that is at least what I will use.

Magnus -- Take a look at whether it might classify as mass market commodity, ECCN 5D992.

You could be the first on the block to actually go through the export admin paperwork for VLC :) 

(Otherwise, get rid of the encryption portions -- analogous to having to remove certain DVD-related items to stay on the good side of the DMCA within the US.)

Please let me know what you come up with.

Mark

VLC supports SSL/TLS with HTTP, and CSA with MPEG-TS (currently static key only). The actual cipher suites implemented in the TLS stack will depend on the version of GnuTLS (and underlying Gcrypt used).

VideoLAN does not operate within/export from the US, so nobody (I guess) ever cared to determine an adequate ECCN.
