Internet Engineering Task Force,
Recently, I have been made aware of an IETF proposed standard named
TLS-authz (TLS authorization). If this becomes a standard, a patent
RedPhone Security holds will become an issue for free software users
worldwide. Redphone is gracious enough, now, to offer a license for
implementation, but its actions are not altruistic. Users of software
containing the protocol will still be threatened by the patent.
Untill a royalty-free license protects all users, this proposed
TLS-authz standard, should be rejected.
Thank you for your consideration,
Lucas Endres
