Invention: The field of public key cryptography, by Diffie, Hellman, & Merkel, with subsequent refinements by Rivest, Shamir, Adleman, El Gamal, Koblitz, and Miller, to name but a few.
Innovation: The development of X.509 PKI, and its incorporation within Internet servers and browsers to facilitate global electronic commerce via the web. Process improvement: The replacement of RSA-based public key technology with the stronger and more efficient elliptic curve cryptography.

Can you please provide examples Security related technologies that fall into each of these categories. Note: That I am using the strict definition of Innovation, which is: "Innovation occurs when someone uses an invention - or uses existing tools in a new way - to change how the world works, how people organize themselves, and how they conduct their lives. Innovation is distinct from improvement in that it causes society to reorganize. Innovation is taking an invention and finding new uses for it." Wikipedia. Please make sure when you provide examples of innovation it conforms to the above definition. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde End of FDE Digest, Vol 19, Issue 7 ********************************** _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
