I am writing to voice my disapproval with a patent-encumbered standard for TLS authorization. The proposed standard: (http://tools.ietf.org/wg/tls/draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt) contains a patent held by RedPhone Security, which has given a license to anyone who implements the protocol, but they still threaten to sue anyone that uses it. This is unacceptable. The IETF should continue to oppose this standard until RedPhone provides a royalty-free license for all users.
