Re: RSA Data Security, Inc. To Exclusively License Rights to RSA

RSA Data Security, Inc. today announced that it is now licensing patents for the Digital Signature Standard (DSS), the U.S. government standard for digital signatures.

I believe someone was suing the U.S. government on the grounds that the public signature standard wasn't supposed to require proprietary technology. Has this gone anywhere yet? -- Eli Brandt eli+@cs.cmu.edu
