Speed International Shipments.
Understand Your Software Encryption.

As an export compliance officer, you know the U.S. Federal Government enforces strict laws governing the export of software and software-driven products. Any cryptographic code that is not legal for export can jeopardize international distribution schedules. Your job is complicated by complex supply chains, including mixed-origin code that may be inadequately documented. Validation is requested on short notice, but manually checking code for encryption is difficult and time-consuming. You’re role is to quickly and accurately declare the encryption methods in your software or software-driven products for export.

When you need to be sure software encryption complies with current export laws, would it help to automate cryptography reporting? Let Black Duck help you —

• Identify encryption. Automate the process of finding and identifying cryptography components. Save time and reduce business risks such as lost revenue from delayed shipments.

• Automate encryption policies. Compare your code base against an up-to-date knowledge base of encryption code and current export requirements. Enforce policies to avoid export violation by scanning code for export with each build cycle or before procurement acceptance.

• Streamline reporting. Use a system that automatically prepares and submits notifications and applications to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and National Security Agency (NSA). The same system maintains an online export compliance audit trail.

Know Your Code™. Black Duck Software offers the world’s first and only solution specifically designed to facilitate U.S. encryption export compliance for software and electronic devices containing software. Companies worldwide depend on Black Duck solutions to analyze source code and identify cryptography within their code in order to more quickly and easily comply with U.S. government licensing and documentation requirements for distributing software internationally. Black Duck can help you gain competitive advantage by bringing your software or software-enabled products to market on time.
