Larry says
<<"Prime Numbers" is irrelevant, as those are made up by end users (with
the help of software or hardware) in any trustworthy implementation.
If you substitute "code" for "prime numbers", the answer is A for
both cases. The key phrase is "for the U.S. market".>>
Has this patent been successfuly litigated? Remember that the existence
of a patent per se does NOT mean that license fees have to be paid. They
have to be paid only if the patent is valid. The fact that the patent
office accepts a patent is an a priori suggestion that at least omeone
in the patent office thought it might be valid, but until it is litigated
no one can say for sure. For my taste the RSA claims are *awfully* broad,
but I have not followed the progress of this patent in any detail.
