Source excerpt
A lawsuit filed against Ping Identity alleges the company infringed a pair of patents for mobile authentication with public key cryptography (PKC) belonging to Texas-based Nexiden.
According to Nexiden’s lawsuit, authentication through the PingID mobile app and related services work in exactly this way.
Nexiden sent notice of its patents and concern about potential infringement in 2023 and 2024, offering to license its technology. The company alleges Ping continued “knowing infringement” intentionally from that point.
