Rainbow Technologies Reports Solid Q3 2003 Results

Earnings and Revenues Increase on Continued Strong Demand for Secure Communications Products, eSecurity
Products; Addition of Rainbow-Chrysalis Generates Positive Results

     IRVINE, California – October 22, 2003 — Rainbow Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: RNBO) a leading provider of digital content and transaction security for the Internet, SSL VPNs, software applications and high assurance security solutions, today announced revenues for Q3 2003 of $35.4 million, up 17 percent year-over-year. The Company reported a profit of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with a profit of $1.8 million, or $.07 per share in Q3-2002.

     Revenues for the Company’s Secure Communications business segment for the third quarter were $22.9 million, up 21 percent year-over-year. The growth is attributed to continued strong demand for voice and data security solutions and link encryption products.

     Third quarter revenues for the eSecurity business segment were $12.5 million, up 10 percent year-over-year due to improved sales of the iKey and NetSwift iGate products. On September 9, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Chrysalis-ITS, Ottawa, Canada which now does business as Rainbow-Chrysalis. The Company found early success in cross-selling the iKey and Luna products from Rainbow-Chrysalis, and the integrated worldwide sales organization is now actively introducing iKey and Luna together to Rainbow’s combined installed base resulting in stronger customer relationships and increasing sales volume. The Luna-brand of hardware security modules, servers and appliances secures and accelerates applications including electronic financial transactions, SSL, smart card issuance, document security and digital identity management.

     The Company recently introduced new versions of the NetSwift iGate SSL VPN appliance and benefits from a full range of appliance products through Rainbow-Chrysalis. In addition, the Company continues to see solid demand and a strong pipeline around the world for its software protection products.

     “I am pleased with the progress in the pipeline and the backlog we are currently experiencing,” said Walt Straub, president and CEO, Rainbow Technologies. “The successful integration of Chrysalis is providing us with the additional resources to take advantage of growing business opportunities.”

     In a separate development, Rainbow and SafeNet, Inc. announced today the signing of a definitive agreement providing for the merger of the two companies.
