Subject: using RSA-the-cryptosystem to secure RSA-the-company's patent? Date: Sun, 10 Jul 94 20:07:58 PDT From: Jef Poskanzer <jef@ee.lbl.gov>
Apropos the recent thread on tamper-proof programs...
Can anyone think of a way that RSA-the-company could include some sort of RSA-cryptosystem-secured check in a release of PGP so that it would only interoperate with other versions that have the same check? I don't see how it could be done, but it's sure an intriguing idea. ---
Why in the world would we want to give them any kind of solution to something like that - particularly on an 'open line' like this? :-) Dave Merriman
