Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “1. A computer implemented method for encrypting data comprising the steps of: creating at least one object key in a block cipher, the at least one object key comprising data and methods that operate on said data; creating a key schedule based upon the at least one object key; encrypting a random session object key in a block cipher encryption process with the at least one object key; encrypting a block of input plaintext data utilizing said key schedule; modifying the at least one object key based on seeding from the random session object key; modifying the key schedule based upon the at least one modified object key; encrypting a next block of input plain-text data utilizing said modified key schedule; and repeating the steps of modifying the at least one object key, modifying the key schedule and encrypting utilizing the modified key schedule until the encrypting of blocks of plaintext data is completed.”

2. “The term “block” as used in the claims and specification of the '789 patent means a sequence of bits wherein that sequence has a fixed length that does not vary from bloek-to-block. The length of a block may be determined through selection in an encryption algorithm. Plaintext data having a length longer than the length of a block is divided into blocks of fixed length.”
