privacy of data and the associated key management. Requests to transfer
commodity jurisdiction of mass market software products designed to meet
the specified criteria may be submitted in accordance with the commodity
jurisdiction provisions of § 120.4. Questions regarding the specified
criteria or the commodity jurisdiction process should be addressed to the
Office of Defense Trade Controls. All mass market software products with
cryptography that were previously granted transfers of commodity
jurisdiction will remain under Department of Commerce control. Mass market
software governed by this note is software that is generally available to
the public by being sold from stock at retail selling points, without
restriction, by means of over the counter transactions, mail order
transactions, or telephone call transactions; and designed for installation
by the user without further substantial support by the supplier.
