I've written to Gligor and Donescu (his mail address is bouncing though
and I do not have another/current one). I've not received any replies as
of today. Rogaway, like myself, is not sure if that patent actually
relates to OCB. He's included it in his initial IPR statement on RFC
7253 [0] as a pre caution as far as I can tell. The patent by Gligor and
Donescu will expire on 18th of January 2021.
