REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 1996--RSA Data Security, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Dynamic Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDTI), today announced that OneWave, Inc. (NASDAQ: OWAV), a leading provider of Web-enabling software solutions for business, has incorporated the functionality of RSA's encryption technology into its software products.

OneWave software products enable companies to integrate and extend their existing systems to new business audiences over the Internet or corporate intranets. Through the use of built-in RSA encryption technology, OneWave's customers can now provide their suppliers, distributors, partners and employees with secure access to strategic business applications and data from virtually anywhere in the world.

"As more and more companies extend internal networks to the Internet, it has become increasingly clear that one of the most critical decisions centers around security," said Jim Bidzos, president of RSA. "With RSA's universally accepted encryption technology incorporated into its software products, OneWave customers can feel confident that they have access to one the industry's highest levels of data security."

OneWave Enterprise and Extensions enable companies to quickly Web-enable multiple ERP package applications, such as SAP and PeopleSoft, as well as legacy systems and databases. OneWave's Application Integration Server provides a single, scaleable access point to multiple systems from Web interfaces such as Java applets and ActiveX controls. The Application Integration Server is backed by RSA's technology and RC4 encryption with 40-bit keys for secure Internet communications.
