    If my memory serves me right, you can't use a key stronger than 128 bits
    except for software and uses authorized by the DCSSI. OpenSSL and GnuPG are
    authorized (thanks to France FSF):

    OpenSSL > 0.9.6d => SSH, SSL, SSH/SSL encryption
    GunPG > 1.0.7 => file/communication signature and encryption

    Are exempt from authorization:
    - Customised smart cards
    - Television reception equipment for the general public
    - Hardware or software means specially designed to protect software against copies or illegal use
    - cryptology equipment used in bank transactions
    - Portable or mobile radio telephones for civil applications
    - Cell phone radiocommunication base stations
    - Cryptology equipment accompanying foreign dignitaries when officially invited by the State.
