Grasping Global Encryption Controls Webinar

Wednesday, September 26, 2012 1:00 PM EDT

Join us for a discussion of US and foreign export controls on products containing encryption technologies. This webinar will provide an update on US export controls on commercial encryption products, and will also cover controls on import, export and domestic use of products of major trading partners such as China, Russia, Israel, France and other EU countries.

ECTI’s Global Encryption Controls webinar will focus the spectrum of US encryption controls from “EAR99/No License Required products all the way to those control list items still requiring export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce. We will cover the January 2011 regulatory update on publicly available software as well as new developments arising as the Commerce Department formulates its policy on export controls on Cloud Computing.

The following topics will be covered:

What products have been decontrolled
How controlled products can be self-classified
The Encryption Registration process
What reports are still required and what should they contain
The “new” License Exception ENC parameters
Due diligence for products from third party suppliers
Special controls and licensing on source code, network infrastructure products, digital forensic products and other “restricted products”

In addition, this seminar will feature a special 30-minute presentation on certain foreign country regulations that present challenges for US companies who sell encryption abroad.

The Global Encryption Controls Webinar will provide PowerPoint slides and include live video and commentary from Felice Laird who is an Instructor with the ECTI and is a subject matter expert on encryption export controls. Questions may be e-mailed to Ms. Laird after the session ends.
