I can't see how this could possibly work. Strong encryption methods are public knowledge. There's nothing to prevent independent implementations of strong encryption. The only people affected will be those that use off the shelf software - who'd be using weaker 'legal' encryption. That'd be the majority of users - who would then be more at risk of malicious software doing bad things. The only winners here are the bad guys.
