According to someone Very Well Versed (tm) in this issue: D-H falls under the broad "Hellman-Diffie-Merkle" patent, which (according to PKP) claims all of public-key cryptography. That patent expires in 1997. The RSA patent expires in 2000. Both patents are controlled by PKP (Public Key Partners, a/k/a Jim Bidzos). The RSA "FAQ About Today's Cryptography", available off of http://www.rsa.com/, has a little more info about the various patents. I'm sure the various cypherpunk pages on the Web have pointers, too. P.S. Your message was extremely rude.home | help
