PKE. Was CIPHER

I am doing my reading, but I am still confused.

The PKE algorithms that look to be the most important are the ones used in
SSL, digital certificates, and VPN.

Are SSL and VPN covered by PKCS#1?

The PKE algorithms ( PKEA's?) that are in the public domain since last year,
do they include PKCS#1?

PKCS is controlled by RSA. Right?  Does that mean licensing fees are still
involved for each PKCS#?

I see that intel got involved with open source PKE last year.  Is there a
PKE standards organization separate from RSA?

Thanks,

Steve Richter
