Please reject this patent encumbered proposed standard. The world has enough
proprietary software.
RedPhone's Licensing Declaration:
The values provided in, and the processing required by the
authorizations ("authz_data" in the Protocol Document) sent or
received using the techniques defined in TLS Authorizations
Extensions are not specified in the Protocol Document. When an
implementation generates the authorizations or processes these
authorizations in any of the four ways described below, then
this practice may be covered by RedPhone Security's patent
claims.Asserts implementors of the tls-authz proposed standard would be in
violation of RedPhone's patent and thus these features could never be
incorporated into Free Software.
