What do they know that we do not? Makes you wonder about all of PKP's claims. Has PKP ever sued anyone over their patents or have they just threatened? Very curious. They know that they have deep pockets. AT&T has some of the deepest

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
