Can anyone provide additional information on the RSA patent status? If memory serves me, it is due to expire sometime in 1997.
I think you need to replaces your SIMMs, your memory is faulty. RSA lives until 2000 (or 2003, I forget); 1997 is Diffie-Helman.
Also, what are the ramifications of deploying software based around it, such as PGP 2.62i (from UK)?
What you think would happen based on the fact that the patent hasn't expired. -derek
