Patent application notification

[Rich Salz <rsalz@datapower.com>]

At a former employer I worked on a patent application which has 
(finally!) been published.  I believe it's appropriate to mention it here.

A digital signature system is provided on a server for use by remote 
clients, such as by using a browser. The server generates and maintains 
all of the users' keys used for producing a digital signature. A user 
sends a data object to the server, and the server generates a digital 
signature for the data object using the private key stored at the 
server. The server then sends the digital signature to the client. A 
client can, at a later time, send the signature back to the server for 
verification.
