Re: UUNET Network Encryption Patents



 
Jonathan, 
 
Thanks for your input ... does this mean that you are claiming your patent may 
apply to IPsec standards?

Would it be possible for you to send a copy of your patent to me (address 
below) ... 
 
 
Thanks in advance,

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.
