How broad is the SPEKE patent.

[James A. Donald]

    --
Does SPEKE claim to patent any uses of zero knowledge
proof of possession of the password for mutual
authentication, or just some particular method for
establishing communications?   Is there any way around
the SPEKE patent for mutual authentication and
establishing secure communications on a weak passphrase?
