I am a little curious why these companies don't use Diffie-Hellman to
generate a session key for use with tripleDES or IDEA or ... and encrypt
*eveyrthing*, saving themselves a lot of hassle in the meantime.

Does anyone have reasons why this hasn't been done? (And if Symantec et
al do wish to implement it, could they give me some royalties? :)


As I know Diffie-Hellman protocol has royalties.


I believe the patent on DH has expired.
