[Cryptography] A strategy to circumvent patents?

2013-09-03 Thread Faré
Don't write the code. Write a reasonably general software solver that finds a program that fulfill given specifications, given a minimum number of hints. Then write a specification for the problem (e.g. finding a nice elliptic curve with interesting properties) and let the solver find them. You di
