a long while ago - ten years back, at Windows 95 and NT 4.0 times. I
remember times when we had to use smuggled software, or code from Australia
and New Zealand. Since Windows 2000 (1999), I'm all but forgotten about the
issue. At that time, France lifted their _import_ restrictions for strong
encryption.
Here's some additional info:

In Russia, use of encryption has to be licensed by FAPSI, a KGB company.
That law is ignored by businesses and people.
2. CryptoAPI functionality doesn't require Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic
Provider (rsaenh.dll) - just any CSP. You should check for CSP in the code
anyway.
