RSA Security has released the RSA patent into the public domain two weeks early, apparently in a successful attempt to generate publicity. http://www.rsasecurity.com/news/pr/000906-1.html They're also giving away neat RSA algorithm T-Shirts and have a FAQ about the patent expiry. http://www.rsasecurity.com/developers/total-solution/ -- Perry E.
