Just to reassure everyone, receiving an IPR statement on an RFC is not something you need to panic over. At this stage we should focus on doing the best job we can and straighten out IPR later. Just a quick look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/ yielded the following list of IPR claims against various usage of EC: 151 247 336 695 1153 1154 1337 1356 1357 1363 1366 1429 1430 1352 1443 1464 1468 1469 1485 1475 1476 1478 1499 1500 1501 1502 1503 1504 1523 1536 1537 1541 1596 1597 1611 1619 1962 1966 1965 1967 1964 1968 1963 1969 2072 You can see why we wrote up RFC 6090 using references that predate the attack of the patent lawyers. ----------------+-------------------------------------------------- Kevin M.
