John:
Just to correct history, Bidzos was *long* gone when RSA was sold to EMC.
Art
Coviello was in charge many years at that point, and still is.
Bidzos was unpopular for zealously maintaining the RSA patent, but he stood
up to
considerable pressure from the USG to keep good crypto available. AFAIK, he
was
on good terms with R, S, and A.
Coviello, I don't want to discuss.
