Then there are OpenSSH ;^) http://www.openssh.com which doesn't contain ANY patented/copyrighted algorithms
OpenSSH uses RSA for ssh1, so it too benefited greatly from RSA's release of the code into the public domain. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org
Yo Bill! Better read the press release again. No CODE was released by RSA, only the ALGORITHM was released. Bsafe and RSAREF are still copyrighted and owned by RSA. They still intend to defend that ownership. RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.

OpenSSH/OpenSSL use their own rsa implementation, so RSA can defend their dead code as long as they want. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org
