Re: UUNET Network Encryption Patents




I think UUNET will have a bit of trouble with that patent given the filing dates.
This is based on:
 Jonathan M. Smith, C. Brendan S. Traw, and David J.  Farber,
     "Apparatus  for  Providing  Cryptographic  Support in a Net-
     work," U.S. Patent No. 5,329,623 (July 12th, 1994).

and

 Jonathan M. Smith, C. Brendan S. Traw, and David J.  Farber,
     "Cryptographic  Support  for a Gigabit Network," in Proceed-
     ings, INET '92, Kobe, JAPAN (June 15-18, 1992), pp. 229-237.
     (Inaugural Conference of the Internet Society)

on which the patent filing was based.
