Is an app with password protected PDF files considered to contain encryption?

If I include a password protected PDF file in my app, and upload to iTunes, do I need to say it contains encryption?

The app opens and displays the contents of the PDF file automatically, so the user never has to enter the password.

EDIT:

According to this pdf from the U.S. Bureau of Industry & Security: http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/flowchart1.pdf

And this related page: http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/question1.htm

The product does contain en开发者_开发知识库cryption but falls under the exception rule:

Is the encryption functionality limited to intellectual property or copyright protection functions? YES

I'm guessing the way to answer in iTunes is:

Is your product designed to use cryptography or does it contain or incorporate cryptography? YES

Does your product qualify for any of the exemptions provided in Category 5 part 2? YES

---

Yes, since password protected PDF files are encrypted and your including it in your app.

In some way... i thing... yes:P but i don't know the politics of itunes etc... i think that application resources can be encrypted, without warning the public becouse you sell the app not the resources by it self

The short answer is yes, it uses encryption and is considered an encryption application.

The slightly longer answer is that under Note 4 to 15 CFR part 774, Supplement 1, category 5, part 2, the use of encryption solely for copyright protection does not require classification or special licensing.

See http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/question6sub_2.htm

However, a complete answer would also include how the source code and related encryption technology are handled. Source code is often subject to more restrictive treatment than the compiled and/or mass marketed app.
