Dear Sirs, I must protest at the proposed standard for Transport Layer Security (TLS) authorization being encumbered by a patent. It is essential that there be means available to all without cost to secure e-mail and other communication: this and other protocols are needed as part of the public, not privatised, infrastructure.
Yours faithfully, Charles M. Goldie. -- Charles M.
