Cylink's New CIDEC-LSi DES Data Encryptor Provides Security for Low- or
Medium-Speed Links

March 23, 1995 -- SUNNYVALE, CA -- Cylink Corporation, the world's leading
supplier of information security systems, today announces the latest
addition to its family of encryption products, the CIDEC-LSi.

The new data encryptor provides totally secure access control and data
confidentiality for point-to-point, dial-up, or multi-drop applications.
It supports communication speeds of up to 19.2 kbps asynchronously and 256
kbps synchronously, in simplex, half-duplex, or full-duplex modes.

New features incorporated in the CIDEC-LSi include more link-level
diagnostics and, for asynchronous operation, a new 8-bit cypher feed
encryption mode. The new encryptor also incorporates support for a key
loader to enter access control authentication keys.

Cylink has improved the reliability of its new encryptor with completely
restructured software and redesigned hardware platform. However, the new
unit remains completely backward compatible with its predecessor, the
CIDEC-LS.

The CIDEC-LSi offers comprehensive key management options, including
Cylink's powerful automatic key management system, the Secure Electronic
Exchange of Keys (SEEK). This eliminates the need for traditional manual
key distribution-usually the most expensive and vulnerable aspect of data
security. Manual key management is also fully supported.

Other notable features of the CIDEC-LSi include protocol-transparent
operation, front-panel configuration via a keypad and LCD display with
menu prompts, and compatibility with Cynet Manager network management
system with SNMP support. The CIDEC-LSi is compliant with the FIPS 140-1
standard.

headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, is a world leader in providing
