The crypt *program* (as opposed to the crypt subroutine) has been deleted to conform to U.S. law regarding export of missile, ammunitions, nuclear and cryptographic technology. Other programs such as PGP are available, but their use and/or possesion may be subject to local laws and regulations. France is such a place. If anyone has a better answer to this question (like places where crypto devices are illegal/severely restricted), feel free to contribute it.
