Is the XOR encryption algorithm considered insecure by the NSA. I would like to distribute some basic encryption programs worldwide and do not want to get into legal troubles. As I recall, the laws on encryption export only applies to algorithms considered secure by the NSA. The XOR is pretty easy to break using a brute force attack. Anyway, can anyone tell me if it would be legal for me to distribute an encryption program using XOR world wide, or would I get in trouble. Thanks, -- Michael D.
