Trial Near in Patent Case on Key Internet Technology (NY Times)

[Posted February 21, 2003 by corbet]

The New York Times (registration required...you know the drill...) has an article by John Markoff on the upcoming SSL patent trial. Leon Stambler claims to own several patents covering SSL, and is suing VeriSign, RSA Security Inc., and others for infringement. "The patents have infuriated Internet security experts who contend the Stambler patents simply imitate the original work done by cryptographers at Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 1970's and 1980's."
