This is not true. Every linux distro comes with strong security. Nobody
cares about export restrictions. I have downloaded from kernel.org that
is located in USA. No problem.

But if that is your concern, then you only need to put the cryptography
package in a server outside the USA (Europe would be fine) and problem
solved.

But, that export restrictions are a problem that was solved a decade
ago.
