Exporting software? Automatically Identify Encryption. Understand the Implications.

Encryption secures data. Every transaction on the Internet depends on it. But used in harmful ways, encryption poses serious threats to national security. Many governments enforce strict laws controlling the international export of software containing encryption, barring or limiting the export of encryption technology to specific countries to protect military secrets and to catch encryption used for harmful purposes - including terrorism.

Black Duck provides an automated solution to insure your software complies with current export regulations for cryptography.

• Automatically identify encryption. Comply with export regulations by identifying encryption in your software. Don’t rely on manual reviews which are incomplete and prone to human error, especially if code is of third-party origin. Automate the identification of encryption to save time, increase accuracy and reduce risk.
• Automate compliance support. Governments around the world regulate the commercial export and transfer of software containing encryption algorithms. Automate encryption validation as part of your regular software build process to comply with government export regulations.
