Regardless, would the prohibition be on possession of the drivers for
crypto hardware, or on possession and/or use of the crypto hardware? (In
the US, export or even use of algorithm-independent crypto interfaces has
been covered by export restrictions in the past, FYI). The hardware
device drivers contain no crypto themselves, they just make use of
hardware that's there. I would have thought the software algorithm
implementations would be much more of an issue...
