draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07 is currently undergoing a ballot to become a proposed standard, with the last call expiring on February 11. Unfortunately, this standard is encumbered by a patent owned by RedPhone Security. While RedPhone has given a license to implementors of this protocol, they have not done so for users, so anyone using this standard may face a patent suit. The IETF should refrain from making this draft a proposed standard until the patent threat is entirely removed, that is, until RedPhone gives all users a royalty-free license.
