"The Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG), an industry consortium, was founded in 1998 to develop commercial standards that facilitate the adoption of efficient cryptography and interoperability across a wide range of computing platforms. SECG members include leading technology companies and key industry players in the information security industry."

"The main output of SECG are Standards for Efficient Cryptogrpahy (SEC) specifications."

"SEC4 formats may be updated to align with other standards development organizations"

"The number, variety, complexity, and breadth of patents in cryptography and information security combined with the fact that the SECG standards and guidelines are intended for worldwide use make it very difficult for the SECG (or any other body) to ascertain what technologies are patented, where they are patented, and when such patents are valid. Therefore, the SECG has adopted this patent policy which aims to encourage SECG members and others to identify patented technologies and to grant non-discriminatory and reasonable licenses to these technologies. During the development of an SECG standard or guideline, the SECG requests its members to identify any known patent and like rights or any known patent pending applications as soon as is practical. For such standards where applicable patents or patent applications have been brought to the attention of the SECG for disclosure to its members, the SECG will attempt to obtain assurances from the patent holder that they will negotiate licenses under patent and like rights with applicants who are seeking to implement the mandatory portions of the standard on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions. Should the SECG not be able to obtain such assurances within a timeframe deemed reasonable by the SECG, the standard will be referred back to the SECG for reconsideration. Should it be revealed after publication of a standard that licenses under a patent and like rights cannot be obtained under reasonable terms and conditions, the standard will be referred back to the SECG for reconsideration. When the SECG receives from a patent holder the assurances set forth above, the standard shall include a note similar to the following:"
