Subject: TLS Authorization Standard

This is a request that the patent-encumbered standard for
TLS authorization involving a patent claimed by RedPhone
Security not be approved unless the patent threat is
entirely removed with a royalty-free license for all users.

A patent encumbered standard for TLS authorization would put
another barrier in the way software users and programmers.
We depend on the IETF to prevent this from happening. IETF
should oppose the standard until RedPhone provides a royalty-free
license for all users.
