Under those laws it was legal for you to possess it, but it was not legal for you to sell or take to another country.

To the point that the NSA would not let Adi Shamir, who was born in Isreal, give a presentation over an encryption scheme that he and two other guys made. Called RSA .

If your interested in learning more about early days of Crypto, I would recommend: Crypto By Steven Levy. Its an easy enjoyable read about the history of crypto and how it came to be. He also has a book on hackers that goes back to MIT days where it grew out of the model railroad club and them making the precursor to Astoroids, Called Spacewar! which was made in 1962, was a two player game, and came out 17 years before Astorids.
