As I understand it the kind of encryption that governments don't like you to export is the the kind that involves factoring multi-million digit numbers which have only a few prime factors - processes that take years of supercomputing time to attack. Not the kind of thing you can create yourself without an intense degree of expertise in mathematics, and a lot of hard work.
