One day after the release of the Netscape Navigator source code, the first full strength encryption version for foreign markets was created by three programmers in Australia. From the press release at http://mozilla-crypto.ssleay.org/press/19980401-02/

Yesterday, at approximately 19:15pm AU (01:15am PST) Eric Young, Tim Hudson and Michael Watkin completed the first SSL-enabled Moxilla binary (unoffically named cryptozilla), for Linux.

Once again our government's outlandish stance on cryptography is shown to be fundamentally ludicrous.
