Does anyone understand what this "Concryption" really is? Reading the press blurbs, it could be nothing more than simply compressing the stream before encrypting it. A patent on that idea would be rather awkward.
thought that myself when I first read it -- did that at least 15 years with the standard unix compress --broke compress into a single library module, fed itfrom the input buffer and directly fed it to an RSA style paired key unit and streamed it out whereever specified --yes, it was far more efficient than two programs --and that was on my VAXEN (780)! however, I guess they think they have reinvented the world and no one ever tried to patent the process. patents are not worth the paper they are printed on in general --I stopped filing in 1975. I was supporting ignorant patent lawyers who could not even write the claims! That, and feds took away a nuber of patents in the national interest, which of course they deny as they scrubbed the rcords clean.... so, let's see if he can enforce it! __________________________________________________________________________ go not unto usenet for advice, for the inhabitants thereof will say: yes, and no, and maybe, and I don't know, and fuck-off. _________________________________________________________________ attila__
