Goods for which it is necessary to have the FSS Notification
PRODUCTS CONTAINING ENCRYPTIONAL (CRYPTOGRAPHIC) FACILITIES
with any of the following components:
  • symmetric cryptographic algorithm using a cryptographic key with a length not exceeding 56 bits; or
  • asymmetric cryptographic algorithm based on any of the following methods:
а) on the factorization of integers, the size of which does not exceed 512 bits;

b) on the calculation of discrete logarithms in the multiplicative group of a finite field of size not exceeding 512 bits; or

c) on a discrete logarithm in a group, different from the size named in the above subparagraph "b", not exceeding 112 bits.

Note.

  1. Parity bits are not included in the key length.
  2. The term "cryptography" does not refer to fixed methods of compressing or encoding data.
GOODS CONTAINING ENCRYPTION (CRYPTOGRAPHIC) FUNCTIONS WITH LIMITED FUNCTIONS
а) authentication, which includes all aspects of access control, where there is no encryption of files or texts, with the exception of encryption, which is directly related to the protection of passwords, personal identification numbers or similar data to protect against unauthorized access;

b) electronic digital signature.

Note. Authentication and electronic digital signature functions include an associated key distribution function.
ENCRYPTION (CRYPTOGRAPHIC) MEANS
Tools that are components of software operating systems, the cryptographic capabilities of which cannot be changed by users, which are developed for installation by the user independently without further substantial support from the supplier and technical documentation (description of algorithms for cryptographic transformations, interaction protocols, description of interfaces, etc.) for which is available
PERSONAL SMART CARDS (INTELLIGENT CARDS)
а) cryptographic capabilities of which are limited to use in equipment or systems specified in clauses 5 - 8 of this list; or

b) for widespread public use, the cryptographic capabilities of which are not available to the user and which, as a result of special development, have limited possibilities for protecting the personal information stored on them.

Note. If a smart card can perform multiple functions, then the monitoring status of each of the functions is determined separately.
RECEIVING EQUIPMENT FOR RADIO BROADCASTING, COMMERCIAL TELEVISION OR SIMILAR COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT FOR BROADCASTING TO A LIMITED AUDIENCE WITHOUT DIGITAL SIGNAL ENCRYPTION
Except when encryption is solely used to manage video or audio channels and send invoices or return program-related information to broadcast providers
EQUIPMENT WHICH CRYPTOGRAPHIC POSSIBILITIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE USER
Specially designed and limited to use any of the following:
а) the software is executed in a copy-protected form;

b) access to any of the following:

  • copy-protected content stored only on read-only media;
  • information stored in encrypted form on media when these media are offered for sale to the public in identical sets;
c) copyright control of audio and video information protected by copyright
ENCRYPTION (CRYPTOGRAPHIC) EQUIPMENT SPECIALLY DESIGNED AND LIMITED FOR BANKING OR FINANCIAL OPERATIONS
Note. Financial transactions include fees and charges for transport services and loans
PORTABLE OR MOBILE RADIO ELECTRONIC CIVIL PURPOSE
For example, for use in commercial civil cellular radio systems that are not capable of end-to-end encryption (i.e. subscriber to subscriber)
WIRELESS RADIO ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Encrypting information only in a radio channel with a maximum wireless range without amplification and retransmission less than 400 m in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications
ENCRYPTION (CRYPTOGRAPHIC) MEANS FOR PROTECTING TECHNOLOGICAL CHANNELS OF INFORMATION AND TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
PRODUCTS WHICH CRYPTOGRAPHIC FUNCTION IS LOCKED BY THE MANUFACTURER
clause 8 of the Regulation "On the procedure for the import into the customs territory of the Customs Union and export from the customs territory of the Customs Union of encryption (cryptographic) means"
Conditions for the import / export of equipment without notification of the FSS and a license from the Ministry of Industry and Trade
