What does "export controlled crypto hardware enabled" meaning?

Hello,

I'm planning to use LS1043A_Auto for my project.

I found out that LS1043A_Auto(Grade 2) only has "export controlled crypto hardware enabled" part...

What is this senetence about? What does it mean?

Best regards,

Hello Irene, I found those statements at QorIQ LS1043A_Auto, LS1023A_Auto Data Sheet, section 8.1 Part Numbering Nomenclature.

Hi @TJAhn

It means SEC implements cryptographic algorithms that are subject to United States Government
export control regulations. Please refer ls1043a SECRM section 3.3 SEC Export-Controlled vs. non Export-Controlled Versions for more details.

Hii,

These controls are typically imposed by governments to regulate the export of technologies that could have national security implications. In practical terms, it means that if you plan to export or use this processor in certain regions or applications, you may need to comply with specific export regulations and restrictions related to cryptographic technology.

Thanks for the detailed reply Khushbur.
To confirm my understanding, can you check the reply I wrote?
-> If the P/N contains "E" such as LS1043ABE9PQB, then the SEC is available. Is this right?
