If I use the following functions from OpenSSL to sign data and later verify the data/signature using an RSA keypair:
EVP_SignInit(); EVP_SignUpdate(); EVP_SignFinal(); EVP_VerifyInit(); EVP_VerifyUpdate(); EVP_VerifyFinal(); in an application that is distributed globally around the world, does the RSA patent become an encumberance given that this application's use and distribution is not limited to North America even though the RSA patent expired in 2000? IANAL, and I am getting conflicting information about the use of the above signing & verification functions in OpenSSL together with an RSA keypair in an application that is to be used and distributed around the world.
