Ars Technica:
“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.”
Nice.
Would have been nice, if it worked. 🙁
I can’t believe the jury of 8 could decide against such compelling testimony from Diffie, but they did. On to appeal…
Actually… they lost the case.

That makes me sad but hopefully they win their appeal.
