Domestic and International Version
The DCE/3000 Security component of /usr/lib/libdce.a uses the Data Encryption Standard
(DES) algorithm as its default encryption algorithm. Because the United States DOD
restricts the export of DES software, DCE/3000 supports two binary versions:
• Domestic (B3821AA) — this version contains the DES encryption algorithm and
makes it available to user applications; it is available to HP customers in the United
States only.
• International (B3822AA) — this version strips the DES encryption algorithm,
making them available to user applications; it is available to all HP customers.
The International version of the software disables the RPC data protection level privacy,
disallowing users the ability to encrypt their data in RPCs. If an application specifies the
privacy level of data protection while using the international version of /usr/lib/libdce.a, the
application receives an rpc_s_unsupported_protect_level error. This restriction does not apply
to the Domestic version.
