I'm not even sure how to understand the idea of including encryption in a game(an exempt entertainment product) would end in a person barred from entering the USA and having a SWAT team at their door. So I am figuring this is a joke that I just don't get?
Note 4: Category 5, Part 2 does not apply to items incorporating or using "cryptography" and meeting all of the following:
(a) The primary function or set of functions is not any of the following:
(1) "Information security";
(2) A computer, including operating systems, parts and components therefor;
(3) Sending, receiving or storing information (except in support of entertainment, mass commercial broadcasts, digital rights
management or medical records management); or
(4) Networking (includes operation, administration, management and provisioning);
(b) The cryptographic functionality is limited to supporting their primary function or set of functions; and
(c) When necessary, details of the items are accessible and will be provided, upon request, to the appropriate authority in the exporter’s
country in order to ascertain compliance with conditions described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.
Maybe it is my lack of knowledge But this says encryption for this purpose is not controlled and (part (c)) That you verify it is truly exempt - you are just showing them that you are using a standard encryption method to lock models, art,sound, ect - otherwise know as storing information for entertain products. There must be something I don't understand.
