Claim 1 seems quite specific and detailed. What’s trivial about it?

This actually is a granted patent. Claim 1 seems quite specific and detailed to me, although I’m no crypto expert. Is everything in the claims well known?

That’s interesting. What company?

Why do you think this market was so inefficient?

Having to justify using a default is a little too zesty for my taste.
