All:
The Internet-Draft draft-ietf-smime-x942-00.txt specified on of the
variants fron the ANSI X9.42 Draft Standad. This vairant of Diffie-Hellman
seems to be clear of IBM's pending patent.
At this point, I waould like all S/MIME WG members to determine if there
are any other potential patents (pending or otherwise) that might impact
the use of the Diffie-Hellman variant specified in
draft-ietf-smime-x942-00.txt. At this point I am unaware of any, and this
query is to avoid any rude surprises.
Please forward this note to anyone who might offer assistance in the quick
resolution of this matter.

S/MIME WG Chair
