This info is relevant to those mod_perl users who run mod_ssl and
equivalent products in USA.

The RSA algorithm was released into the public domain today (September
6th, 2000). For more info see:

http://www.rsasecurity.com/news/pr/000906-1.html
http://www.rsasecurity.com/developers/total-solution/faq.html

As of this moment the above site is slashdotted, (i.e. unreachable), so I
guess you want to try later :)

P.S. Please refrain from creating a thread from this post, be patient and
read the info at the above links and more info at ./ :
