In Disclosure 1026 RedPhone Security states the following:

  When an implementation generates the authorizations or processes
  these authorizations in any of the four ways described below, then
  this practice may be covered by RedPhone Security's patent claims.

This statement contradicts the earlier claim of non-infringement. Since it
will apparently still not be possible to create and use a functioning
implementation without infringing RedPhone's patents I oppose the adoption
of this proposed standard.

Thank You,
