- I'm beginning to become a little frustrated with this discussion. Patent
- law is a highly technical field, and unless you're a lawyer who works with
- patent law on a regular basis, I think it would be foolish for anyone to
- give much creedence to your -- or my -- opinion on the validity of the RSA
- patent. Would you pay much attention to a lawyer's pronouncement that a
- crypto system is secure?
