It's a free party down in SF to celebrate the expiration of the RSA patent.
RSA is the public key encryption system used in everything from PGP to SSL.
(RSA and Diffie-Hellman are the only PK systems I've seen getting real use,
and RSA is more popular) Until today, there has been a patent on it. (the
company holding it released it into the public domain last week)
Anyways, it's in SF, Thursday night (tomorrow), 8pm-1:30am.
There are two secret passphrases: "I will never forget the passphrase." and
"Secure Your Human Rights!" Or, if you can't remember one of those, follow
the URL and print the appropriate page out.
