    Sadly not new. The USA considers encryption to be a weapon of war (thanks Germany), so they do whatever they can to interfere with it. If you are making a new encryption scheme it will be illegal if the government doesn’t have an easy way to break it.

    Edit: the guy that made pgp got in a stink with the government if memory serves they tried to bop him with something to do with itar.
