- RSA Security holds software patents on the RC5 algorithm.  If you
- intend to use this cipher, you must contact RSA Security for

- RC4 is a trademark of RSA Security, so use of this label should perhaps
- only be used with RSA Security's permission.

- The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
- Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA.  They
