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.
