Didn't all of { Bellovin and Merritt, Jablon, Wu } apply, so you couldn't
safely use any of them until all three had expired?  Granted, all of them have
expired now, but historically that's always been a PITA with using the *EKE's,
three patent holders all considered they had the sole patent on the
technology, and like monotheistic religions going with one implicitly
condemned you to the other two's version of hell.  In fact the *EKE patent
mess was often cited as (yet another) example of the patent system's
brokenness...
