    Subject: Export laws with JCE based apps

I am confused as to how to apply the US cryptography export laws to a Java
applet/application that I write. I've checked out many of the referenced web
pages, but can't find any specific information.

The JCE is restricted to the US/Canada. Is it, therefore, legal to put a JCE
based applet on a publicly accessable web page? I wouldn't think so. Am I
forced to distribute a JCE based product as an application and somehow validate
that the person I am giving it to is truly in the US/Canada?

Thanks,
Lance Read
