Hello,

I am writing to voice my concern over the new IETF TLS authorization draft, "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Authorization Extensions" <draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt>. This draft is encumbered by patents and thus should not be made an Internet standard. We need to endeavor to keep the technologies which enable the Internet free from software patents. In this manner everybody will be able to continue to innovate on one of the great est inventions of all time. Please consider a new TLS authorization standard so that we may keep the Internet free from patents.
