The United States and 32 other nations that belong to a group
called the Wassenaar Arrangement, which coordinates export
policies for technologies that have both civilian and military
use, have signed an agreement restricting exports of encryption
technology from their countries. The Clinton administration,
which has already imposed such controls in this country, says
the agreement will help American companies compete on a more
equal footing with their counterparts abroad. Privacy
organizations are critical of the agreement, and a counsel for
the advocacy group Americans for Computer Privacy says there
will still be enormous differences in how the countries put the
agreement into practice.
