NIST seems to believe that DSS can be used without royalties. If it is incorrect then it will almost certainly withdraw DSS. > There are at least two patent holders who claim > that DSS infringes their patents [1]. Let's not mince words here: *RSA Data Security Incorporated* claims that DSS is insecure, that DSS infringes upon its patents, etc., etc., etc. I am astounded that people like Rivest have the nerve to comment on DSS without admitting their financial interest in RSA. I am unhappy, though not so surprised, that people go around repeating RSADSI's claims as if they were true. ---Dan
