Years ago when I implemented a laptop encryption solution for my former employer, we had received a list of countries into which the import/export of encrypted data was permissible, and vice versa.

I'm now in a situation where I need to find that list, but through my painstaking consultation with the great oracle of Google, I'm having no luck.  All that I seem to be able to find in my searches are stories about people trying to sneak into or out of the US with kiddie-toucher pics.  That's not exactly what I'm looking for, obviously, and is leaving a rather nasty taste in my mouth, as well as increasing my disdain for humanity.

It is my understanding that as long as travel isn't to one of the recognized states that sponsor terrorism, that everything is ok.  Understandably, I'm feeling the need to verify this before I find out the hard way (or worse, my CEO gets stopped at an airport).

Does anyone know where I might be able to find this information?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot, guys!  Very helpful stuff from both of you.

I'd actually already read the article in the Register...very good to keep in mind for anyone traveling out of the country

In countries that don't allow encryption (or believe anything encrypted must be illegal; 'nothing to hide.....etc.). Then I would recommend leaving your data at home and accessing it remotely over a secure (ssh/vpn/etc.) channel once inside the countries borders. Obviously this only works depending on the size of the files you need and the performance of an available network pipe.


Read this article earlier and it is worrying me as I need to travel stateside toward the end of the year. From these new changes they'll be a fresh OS installed on my laptop with no data.

Two proposals that regularly turn up in commentaries to this is to either release your own 'music', then call in RIAA or place an 'interestingly' named folder on the desktop and fill it with every piece of malware you can find. But they would be unethical....... (or justified depending on your take on state sponsored corporate espionage....)
