What shall we call
that-public-key-algorithm-that-will-not-be-patent-protected in late
September? we should not use a trademarked or copyrighted term, in my
opinion.
There was discussion of this a while ago, I think. I don't recall what
was around.
I suggest "Rivest Public Key", or 'RPKey'. It's not the prettiest
buzzword I've ever
suggested, but is there something better to call it?
