However, importation, supply and exportation of cryptographic goods remain regulated. In addition, France is not the only country that regulates these activities.

INTRODUCTION
The science of secrecy is no different. For a long time, cryptology was the preserve of the military before it was made available to the general public. Today, everyone uses it without even realizing it: in computers, cell phones, and tomorrow in household appliances...
Since the 1970s, this mysterious science has become part of our daily lives, almost without our knowing it. The regulations that accompany it have also undergone profound changes.
Before 1970, everything to do with cryptology was forbidden. Today, many things are authorized, provided the rules are respected. Regulations governing the supply, use, import and export of cryptology are mandatory. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in sanctions.
That's why we need to take a close look at the various rules governing the use and exchange of cryptographic resources.
