From: Jeff Gostin <jgostin@eternal.pha.pa.us> Now that they have a real opponent, who can meet (and surpass) their level of gameplaying, it'll be interesting to see what happens.
I think some people are misinterpreting the situation. The case of DSS is atypical, because RSADSI doesn't hold a patent on DSS. They hold another patent which they claim can be stretched to cover DSS; NIST's and ATT's lawyers apparently disagree. This is different from, say, using RSA. They hold a patent which does quite clearly cover RSA. Eli ebrandt@hmc.edu
