Indian ISP and encryption?

[sharktale1212]

I came across this article today:
https://www.privateinternetaccess.c...ont-let-users-use-128-bit-256-bit-encryption/

Quote:

What is the bit length permitted by the Department of Telecommunications, anyways? According to a 2002 note on ISP regulation by the Department of Telecommunications, the encryption key length hard limit is 40 bits for internet service licensees aka internet service providers.

40 bits..

Time to check this out. Have a PIA account - Now all I need is to find someone with a You Account or use the free wifi at Mumbai Metro

Else @cyberwarfare - you have my details, please check it out.

Was never going to use YOU anyway. Heard their service is terrible. This seals the deal for me and puts it on my no go list. Period.

Trying to control encryption is like trying to control numbers. You can't and you shouldn't.

The point is this maybe applicable for all ISPs in India not only YOU. Someone made the effort to read through YOU's ToS and point it out.
