Ann is a UK citizen, living in the UK. She's going to a crypto
conference. She'll want to take some paper publications, her paper
research, electronic verions of her colleagues' research, some software
(source and binaries) and some cryptographic hardware. Ann has lots of
plain text and lots of cipher text on her laptop. When she gets to the
conference she'll meet Bob, who's been working on similar problems.
They'll share their information.
a) The conference is in an EU country. OR
b) The conference is in Turkey OR
c) The conference is in any other country you like
Q1) What UK laws does Ann have to be aware of? Is she likely to have
trouble with customs / airplane security if they ask her what all that
technical stuff is?
Q2) How should Ann find out about any other laws that might affect her
or Bob?
