FACSIMILE MESSAGE
DATE: 11 June 1996
TO: Auckland Customs, Export Section, AUCKLAND
CC: [Deleted], Cartnell[sic] Holdings, AUCKLAND
FROM: Matthew Broadhead
MFAT: ISAC
SUBJ: EXPORT TO SINGAPORE
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Trade has no objection to the export of
the "Paysafe" financial package, as detailed in the following application from
[Deleted] dated 3 June provided that the description of the library is
amended to read "64-bit DES"[1] and that the library is
exported as "object" code, not "source" code.
Yours sincerely
Matthew Broadhead
for Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Trade
[1] Something which doesn't exist, ie "We have no objection to you exporting
encryption, provided it's something which doesn't exist". Note also that the
requirements are completely different to the ones for US export given just over
a week before. In any case they still don't include key exchange or signature
algorithms so that, along with the nonexistant "64-bit DES", the whole permit
is completely useless because it doesn't allow the export of anything (or at
least anything which exists).
