Re: [pkix] IPR Disclosure CERTICOM CORP's Statement about IPR related to RFC 3279 and RFC 3280

"A method of Verifying a pair of correspondents in electronic
transaction, the correspondents each including first and sec
ond signature schemes and wherein the first signature scheme
is computationally more difficult in signing than Verifying
and the second signature scheme is computationally more
difficult in verifying than signing."

The CMU system did that back in 1995. They used DSA and RSA for the
performance advantage on the server.

It seems pretty irrelevant at this point as we are using ECDH for both at
this point.
