The beauty of Fortify is that is contains no encryption algorithms, so
doesn't have the export restrictions of the 128-bit version (which you
probably shouldn't have in France.  :)  From what I've read in the doco,
the export algorithms are simply crippled to allow no more than 48(?) bit
encryption - Fortify simply removes/changes the crippling code.  Note that
the same may not apply to the web server you are talking to - a 128-bit
browser can only talk 48-bit to a non 128-bit server.  The Fortify website
has a handy SSL test page which tells you the encryption algorithm being
used by your browser.

         Navigator Lite (stand-alone) verns 4.02 to 4.08, 4.05-JDK1.1,
            and 4.5 
         Communicator verns 4.01 to 4.08, 4.05-JDK1.1, and 4.5 (+) 

   that were released for the following platforms:- 

         DEC-OSF + Dec UNIX (Alpha systems) 
         SGI Irix 5.x and 6.x (Mips systems) 
         Sun Solaris 2.4 and 2.5.1 (Sparc systems) 
         Sun Solaris 2.4 (Intel x86 systems) 
         Sun SunOS 4.1.3_U1 (Sparc systems) 
         BSD, FreeBSD, BSDI (Intel x86 systems) (*) 
         Linux-Elf and Linux-glibc2 (Intel x86 systems) 
         MKLinux and LinuxPPC (PowerPC systems) 
         Microsoft Windows 95/98 and Windows NT (Intel x86 systems) 
         IBM OS/2 (Intel x86 systems) (+) 

    (*) BSD versions v3.01, v3.03-gold, v3.04, and v4.04 onwards only. 
    (+) OS/2 version v2.02 (service level 4, 7 or 8) and 4.04 only. 

I've tried it on Windows 95, Linux (glibc) and Solaris versions - no
problems.
