To build a legally royalty free SSL implementation
what RSA algorithms do I need to abstain from using?
When does the RSA patent expire?
 
1. The apps/req.exe utility generates this key that I use
    to for the certificate authority in apps/CA.exe.
 
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,D096F03DF488D895
(...)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
 
 
 
2. CA.exe issues certificates.  The certificates
are created using [Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption].
Is this legitimate? 
 
 
 
 
3. In my SSL Server I have the following:
SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(ctx,"DES-CBC3-SHA")
Does this select the SSL encryption algorithm? 
If so, how do I guarantee that my client application
supports this?
