         Appeal No. 2002-2126                                                       
         Application 08/931,187                                                     

         Borza discloses that "the location of the client--in a secure              
         environment, in a university computer lab, mobile computer,                
         etc.--is also a factor" (col. 13, lines 30-32) in determining a            
         minimum set of requirements for security.  Appellant has not               
         shown that the minimum set of requirements do not apply to the             
         security process.  For the examiner's benefit in any continued             
         prosecution, we note that determination of the security algorithm          
         based on location was well known, the best example being the use           
         of different encryption standards for U.S. and export                      
         (international) use.  Appellant has not shown any error in the             
         rejection.  The rejection of claim 14 is sustained.
