Just a comment about semantics .. it hardly makes sense to talk about
"US only" encryption devices, since it is the USA who has the export
and use restrictions (via export laws, software patents and apparently
by control of law in the future), not the rest of the world.  You
probably mean "not to be exported from USA", assuming you are talking
about U.S. companies.

There are several DES chip and device manufacturers in Europe who are
glad to sell and glad about increased sales due to the export
restrictions.
