Is this a patent for an encryption handshake? I'm pretty sure I can find very similar flowcharts in my security textbook from 2002.

- throwawaykf05 11y agoYes, it is for one specific handshake, similar to many others. At a quick glance, the claims don't seem to cover any earthshaking innovation, but the introduction claims this makes it resistant to weaknesses in the underlying crypto algorithms that have been shown to be broken.
