Re: validity of the RSA patent

Consider use of another public key encryption scheme, say LUC encryption.

Which, of course, is patent-pending. It appears that we can no more make progress in cryptography in the face of algorithm patents than we could advance mathematics under the burden of theorem licensing. We can't afford to wait until 2001.
