The following are now decontrolled:
- Products accompanying their user for the user's personal use (yes, you can now export your laptop even if it does have a copy of pgp on it!)- After a one-time review, weak crypto (64 bits or less) is decontrolled (it's not clear how this works legally)
- Very weak crypto (56 bits or less symmetric and/or 512 bit or less RSA or DH) doesn't need a review
- Analogue crypto
- Cordless telephones
Software "In the public domain" was _not_ decontrolled.
The rules on intangibles did not change.
