> The patent expired in 2012. Is it still interesting?

No.  It was created for use on mainframes to work within export controls.  Unless you have to talk to some really old legacy systems, you shouldn't care about this.  I used to work with the team that did system/z (mainframe) security, including things like (prepare to be impressed:) RACF and SAF and passtickets.
