Three implementations of the security function exist, one for the U.S. and Canada, one for France, and one for all other countries.

This version cannot be exported outside the U.S. and Canada to any entities. The version of the product announced outside of U.S., Canada, and France uses DES, 40-bit RC2, and 40-bit RC4 cryptographic algorithms for bulk data encryption as well as up to 512-bit RSA key exchange.
