Is Cyber Crucible subject to US export controls?

Short answer: Yes — Cyber Crucible's software is subject to the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR). It is not ITAR-controlled and is not administered by the Department of State. No special license is required to provide the software to customers, and export classification and screening are handled as part of Cyber Crucible's compliance program.

What this means for a buyer

  • EAR, not ITAR. The product falls under Commerce Department jurisdiction, the framework that applies to most commercial encryption-bearing software — not the defense-article regime.
  • Patented, and reviewed. The technology has been patented internationally following U.S. Patent and Trademark Office review that included Department of Defense review.
  • No licensing barrier. Providing the software to a customer does not require a special export license.

Export classification detail is available to reviewers on request.
