708.1RSA is patentedULTRA::WITTENBERGThu May 21 1987 18:5911
    
    Does anyone have the routines to calculate the numbers required
    for the RSA public key encryption scheme? (I know about the VAX
    Encryption product, but don't want all the included encryption
    schemes.)
        
Be aware that RSA is patented, so any commercial use must be licensed.  I 
don't know about do-it-yourself implementations.

Do not attempt to use an unlicensed patented device or process, even for
internal development, without contacting an intellectual property
specialist in the Law Department.

>I don't know about do-it-yourself implementations.

I've never seen a description of Patent Law which distinguished between
commercial and non-commercial users.  Check with the Law Department
no matter what.
