Last I checked, I believe that US law had no restrictions on products
that only use encryption for authentication, so long as data is sent in the
clear. So you should be able to export a binary of NTP so long as it is
statically-linked to its encryption routines. IANAL, and I am going from
memory from a few years ago. Laws do change.
