RSA is patented in the U.S. It's patent number 4,405,829. Within the U.S., at least, one can get a copy of any patent for $3 by writing to the patent office. I have no idea how one would get one from abroad. You might want to check with the U.S. Consulate. Btw, patents are not copyrighted; they may be reproduced freely.
