S> SunSoft Signs Agreement with RSA

S> SunSoft today also announced a joint agreement with RSA Data Security,
S> Inc. of Redwood City, Calif., to incorporate RSA's data encryption
S> technology into existing and future SunSoft security products.  The
S> first use of RSA technology will be for network authentication in
S> SunSoft's ONC(TM)/NFS(R) distributed computing technology. ONC/NFS is
S> an industry standard in multi-vendor networks with an installed base of
S> more than 1.3 million nodes.  Network authentication helps users
S> control access to sensitive information stored on the network.  The
S> agreement allows for the more than 300 licensees of the ONC/NFS
S> networking environment to obtain RSA technology for use in their own
S> implementations of ONC/NFS.

S> "Public key technology makes it possible to have open network access
S> and maintain data access control and confidentiality," said James
S> Bidzos, RSA President. "SunSoft's leadership role in providing this
S> widely used and recognized technology in their industry-standard
S> ONC/NFS networking environment will be of tremendous benefit to users."

S> Pricing and availability for the RSA data encryption technology will be
S> announced at a later date.
