My company makes a process control system, used to control 
levels, temperatures, and pressures in industrial processes.
Some industries, like pharmaceuticals, require password
protection of access to the control system, so that data
cannot be easily stolen (the data is not encrypted) and
the controlled process cannot be changed.

So far, we have been able to use one version of software for
sales around the world.  Apparently, the addition of password
protection has broken that, as it is necessary to encrypt the
passwords for storage.  As I understand it, the Arms Regulation
law includes cryptographic software, and prohibits its export
without a license - _for each shipment_.

Our site saves News for a week.  I could not find anything in
the 82 articles available specifically on the password subject.
I'm sure you've discussed this problem, but I have no access
to an archive or a FAQ list.

How have other people solved this problem?  Does anyone ship
software containing password encryption outside the US?  Is
it possible to get an exclusion to the ITAR regulations?

Please email replies.  It's much more reliable than News.
