128-bit Global Server IDs (included with VeriSign's Secure Site Pro and Commerce Site Pro Services) automatically ensure a minimum level of 128-bit SSL encryption when communicating with both domestic and export versions of Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer.

The encryption power of 128-bit SSL Global Server IDs make them ideal for sites that exchange sensitive, personal information, such as credit card numbers, with customers.

IETF officials last week asked Walid to reconsider and instead license the patent for free to all interested parties. If not, the IETF will likely scrap this approach and start over, which could make Walid's patent worthless.

IDN working group chair Marc Blanchet says VeriSign 128-bit SSL Server IDs he expects to hear from Walid within a month. "There are some signs that Walid may change its [intellectual property] stance," Blanchet says. "But there is no chance that the IETF will move ahead and test this patent claim."

Walid competitors likely to test the claim include I-DNS.net and VeriSign, which is running a multilingual test bed in partnership with Walid
