PATENTS

|
|
||||||
Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
|
|
||||||
locations around the world. _YOU_ are responsible for ensuring that your use
|
|
||||||
of any algorithms is legal by checking if there are any patents in your
|
|
||||||
country. The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are
|
|
||||||
rumored to exist. This is not a definitive list.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RSA Security holds software patents on the RC5 algorithm. If you
|
|
||||||
intend to use this cipher, you must contact RSA Security for
|
|
||||||
licensing conditions. Their web page is http://www.rsasecurity.com/.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RC4 is a trademark of RSA Security, so use of this label should perhaps
|
|
||||||
only be used with RSA Security's permission.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
|
|
||||||
Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA. They
|
|
||||||
should be contacted if that algorithm is to be used; their web page is
|
|
||||||
http://www.ascom.ch/.

||||||
