  1. IBM’s AES-OCB Licensing Position Thomas Studwell Senior Technical Staff Member IBM Personal Computing Devices RTP, NC Thomas Studwell, IBM

  2. Perspective • AES-OCB has Intellectual Property (IP) claimed by three parties • Phillip Rogaway • Virgil Gligor • IBM (J. Rao) • All parties have indicated acceptance of standard IEEE guidelines for fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory licensing terms • IBM sent letter to IEEE 802.11 on Jan. 23, 2002 Thomas Studwell, IBM

  3. IBM’s Licensing Practice • IBM has participated and provided IP to many of today’s standards • IBM protects its ownership of IP through licensing • In the absence of an IBM “advocate” IBM initially provides a standard set of terms for IP licensing • If an IBM product group sees value in promoting the technology then this group can encourage more favorable terms Thomas Studwell, IBM

  4. Advocate for AES-OCB • IBM PCD sees the OCB implementation as beneficial to the industry and our own products and is willing to work on behalf of licensee applicants • We (PCD) do not participate in negotiation of terms – this is the responsibility of IBM’s IP&Licensing group • We will provide introduction and support for those interested in licensing the technology • A significant number of companies are already covered under existing cross-licensing agreements • We have encouraged IP&L to support terms similar to those published elsewhere and have received favorable response • Suggested fixed, one-time fee for license restricted to this application • Interested parties may contact: Thomas Studwell • Email: studwell@us.ibm.com Thomas Studwell, IBM
