"We've heard a good bit in this courtroom about public key encryption," said Albright. "Are you familiar with that?" "Yes, I am," said Diffie, in what surely qualified as the biggest understatement of the trial. "And how is it that you're familiar with public key encryption?" "I invented it."
A nice piece of journalism about how Diffie stood out in court to “knock out the Jones patent with “clear and convincing” evidence (which is the standard for invalidating a patent).”.
