But I'm not releasing commercial software. I think somebody made a list of the patents owned by Certicom, but I can't recall the details. That would be the first thing to look at, IMHO. Dan Bernstein has made lists of ECC patents here: http://cr.yp.to/ecdh/patents.htmlhttp://ed25519.cr.yp.to/software.html (see "Patents" at the bottom of the page)According to him, no extant patents should apply to the CFRG curves or EdDSA (and it's seeming highly likely that the CFRG signature algorithm will greatly resemble or be EdDSA)
