DCE for the HP 3000
Domestic and International Versions
The DCE/3000 Security component of /usr/lib/libdce.a uses the Data
Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm as its default encryption algorithm.
Because the United States DOD restricts the export of DES software,
DCE/3000 supports two binary versions:
* Domestic (B3821AA) - this version contains the DES encryption
algorithm and makes it available to user applications; it is
available to HP customers in the United States only.
* International (B3822AA) - this version strips the DES encryption
algorithum, making them available to user applications; it is
available to all HP customers.
The International version of the software disables the RPC data
protection level privacy, disallowing users the ability to encrypt their
data in RPCs. If an application specifies the privacy level of data
protection while using the international version of /usr/lib/libdce.a,
the application receives an rpc_s_unsupported_protect_level error. This
restriction does not apply to the Domestic version.
