IPR Situation
IPR has been a big problem for PAKE algorithms
Two known basic algorithms
Both heavily IPR encumbered
IPR holders have been unwilling to release
DoCoMo believes OPAKE is uncovered by previous IPR
But DoCoMo has filed for IPR on OPAKE (sorry).
However, DoCoMo’s default IETF IPR policy is RFC 1822 (Photuris) if IPR affects interoperability
Royality-free release if IPR is used in an Internet Standard
Nonretaliation
Decision for release hasn’t been made on OPAKE yet
Not even a draft on it, so premature
We will attempt to get it released if the WG is interested
