Dear Sirs,

I must protest at the proposed standard for Transport Layer
Security (TLS) authorization being encumbered by a patent.  It is
essential that there be means available to all without cost to
secure e-mail and other communication: this and other protocols
are needed as part of the public, not privatised, infrastructure.

Yours faithfully,
Charles M. Goldie.
