Cylink Claims Right To Key Technology Involving Encryption
... The arbitrators ruled that RSA hasn't had the right to sublicense the Stanford patents since 1990.
Since PKP (and Bidzos, now president of RSA) always said that DH covered all public key encryption, it would seem that any RSA licensee would also need a license from Cylink.
So, I suppose this invalidates the RSA agreement that allows PGP to be distributed? What "fortunate" timing for the pro GAK folks! Okay, everybody in US, erase your copies, before the Feral government comes to get you....... Rick F. Hoselton (who doesn't claim to present opinions for others)
