Bird & Bird & Cryptography Transfers

Cryptography driven technology and software have become part of our daily routine found in numerous products, applications, (security) solutions and services. At the same time, sharing and transferring such software and technology is not without any measure of constraint. Numerous governments monitor and control transfer of cryptography for (inter)national security, national cryptography, trade or foreign policy interests and objectives. Due to the rise of the digital economy, digital transformation and telecommuting, this is becoming an area of increasing regulatory interest and enforcement. Any non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, even personal liability.
