LINDON, Utah, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyLabs(TM), Inc., the industry's
premier independent test facility, has been chosen to verify interoperability

vendors to ensure their interoperability with Cisco's firewall, Virtual
Private Network (VPN), intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, and

solutions for the Internet economy. The initial solutions areas offered under
the program include Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) products, IPSec VPN client

business."
