Presumably this would be covered by the Merkle/Hellman patent. But would the fact that this is, I gather, isomorphic to RSA cause it to be covered by the R/S/A patent as well? Math patents raise tricky questions. If a reasonable argument could be made both that it is "obvious to one versed..." and that it is not directly covered by the R/S/A claims (I don't think you can control derivatives of your patent's claims), it could be useful.
