HI!
The description of SCEP found on
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/sqsw/tech/scep_wp.htm
mentions an Entrust patent on usage of CRLDistributionPoint as
described in RFC2459:
7.0 Intellectual Property
This protcol includes the optional use of Certificate Revocation
List Distribution Point (CRLDP) technology, which is a patented
technology of Entrust Technologies, Inc. (Method for Efficient
Management of Certificate
Revocation Lists and Update Information (U.S. Patent 5,699,431)).
Please contact Entrust Technologies, Inc. (www.entrust.com) for more
information on licensing CRLDP technology.
Does anybody know something about this patent and its implications
especially for Open Source projects?
Ciao, Michael.
