NSS Reports Luna SA Performs Exceptionally Well;
Makes 'Recommended List' for Customers
OTTAWA, Canada, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rainbow Technologies,
Inc. (Nasdaq: RNBO), a leading provider of digital content and transaction
security for the Internet and secure remote access solutions, today announced
that its Luna SA hardware security module (HSM) achieved a coveted "NSS
Approved" Award from The NSS Group, a leading independent security testing
facility based in London, U.K. The designation follows The NSS Group's
independent evaluation of leading public key infrastructure (PKI) hardware
offerings. NSS Approved status means the Luna SA "performed exceptionally
well" and that NSS officials would be happy to recommend the Luna SA to
others.

Each HSM tested by The NSS Group was evaluated based on an in-depth
technical analysis of the products, its pricing strategy, and its ease of use.
According to Bob Walder, director of The NSS Group, "The Luna SA is a
cost-effective server with outstanding performance, scalability, resiliency
and ease of use."
"What is attractive about the Luna SA's network-based approach is the
ability to share the HSM functionality between multiple client applications,"
Walder added. "The Luna SA architecture provides an extremely secure
environment for the private keys under its protection."
With Luna SA, Rainbow-Chrysalis has, once again, demonstrated industry
leadership and delivered the first HSM with the capability to secure shared
access to critical encryption hardware over a TCP/IP network, which
dramatically lowers the total cost of HSM deployment and ownership. In
addition, the Luna SA maintains unparalleled levels of security for sensitive
encryption data. Luna SA can also be easily partitioned into multiple virtual
HSMs to support independent applications.
"The NSS Group's analysis was the most in-depth independent analysis ever
conducted on HSM products," said Randy Kun, vice president of marketing and
product line management, Rainbow-Chrysalis. "Gaining a seal of approval from
NSS validates the Luna SA for use in the world's most demanding security
environments and will help us further increase our share of the secure key
management market."
The Luna SA is the world's first HSM server and Rainbow-Chrysalis HSMs
have become the world's leading cryptographic hardware for key management used
in the most demanding security environments such as financial services,
government, and large enterprises. The full NSS review of the Luna SA can be
