	Some time ago Next Inc. announced their intentions to use a scheme termed
"elliptical descent" for public key security.  I'm not qualified to comment
on its applicability or security - perhaps others here can do so.  I don't
recall it being discussed here at the time of the announcement.  My impression
was that it was free of patent liability issues.
