The increasing US sensitivity on the export of high-technology products, especially in the security-conscious electronics field, is well illustrated by the restrictions placed on the sale and distribution of VAULT. Due to its ability to encrypt text, data and software, the National Security Agency has notified MAS that several precautions must be observed to comply with federal regulations on lawful use. Specifically, MAS cannot sell or distribute VAULT outside the United States or to agents of foreign governments. In addition, disks holding the software must not be physically transported over US national borders nor be accessed by or transmitted to telecommunication terminals outside of the States. Readers requiring further information on VAULT should contact MAS at 6826 Dean Drive, McLean, Virginia 22101, USA. EDPACS has no readership restrictions, fortunately, and can be reached at 11250 Roger Bacon Drive, Suite 17, Reston, Virginia 22090, USA.
