Although export restrictions on encryption were eased after Bernstein v United States and the political fight over the 'international edition" of Netscape/etc, I believe encryption for military purposes is still on the Munitions List.

Therefor, the 2nd Amendment should apply.

Actually, export restrictions on encryption are still there – you de jure need approval from the DoD.
