Some of you may have visited my "pet" website that i have been developing over the past several months. i wanted it to encompass my entire professional experience as well as some of my professional perspective. This would leave this blog free to specifically be used for documenting my projects, which was it's original purpose.
i have hinted at in previous posts that as i develop several of these encryption cores that i will be unable to post the source on my professional site. i did some light reading and i found it quite clear, Federal Regulations in the US apply to source code posting on the internet as well as many other forms of export. Since crypto is treated similarly to arms deals by the US government and posting source code on the internet is the same as exporting, i would inadvertently be turning myself into an arms dealer of source code crypto. Not really part of my professional development strategy.
So, without further adieu: i will not, nor will i ever post encryption source code, whether HDL or a sequentially executable language, here or on my professional site. Sorry guys, like i said before, i don't plan on going to jail.
However, this won't hinder me sharing any of my other HDL/code with you!! :) Stay tuned to the RTL Page on my professional site and postings here!

So, in essence the U.S. government is limiting your citizen rights to free speech in order to prevent non-citizens from pursuing a means of privacy, a right also guaranteed by your citizenship. Make one wonder how the hierarchy of rights stacks up in the global community, and who really is free to choose?

I don't think there is really a hierarchy, there's the rights of the State and everyone else's rights. The former always trumps the latter, makes me wonder how a State built on "freedom and individuality" can support this perspective.
It's all an illusion i think. ;)
