Dear Sirs,
I am a software engineer who has seen corporations in the computer
software/hardware/networking field attempt to seize control of the
creations of others for over thirty years. The Internet works only
because the standards it is based on are open, unencumbered standards.
Adoption of any patent-encumbered standard will inevitably guarantee the
eventual fragmentation of the Internet into competing fiefdoms unwilling
and eventually unable to communicate with each other.
*I therefore strongly urge you to reject the proposed standard for TLS
authorization that is encumbered by a patent by RedPhone Security.
*
