Monday January 24, 8:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Hi/fn, Inc. Cisco Designing With Hi/fn Security Processors LOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Network security specialist Hi/fn, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIFN - news), today announced that Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO - news) is designing multiple Hi/fn encryption and compression processors into a range of different products. ``We are delighted that Cisco has selected not just one, but multiple Hi/fn security products to provide compression and encryption across various Cisco platforms,' says Raymond Farnham, Hi/fn chairman and CEO. ``We believe that Cisco's decision to use different Hi/fn products validates our approach to dealing with networking security issues, which consists of providing performance and price appropriate to the application, in a broad range of networking products.' Hi/fn is best known for its high-performance compression and encryption processors used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). This includes the world's fastest encryption processor for the most commonly used data encryption standard, 3-DES. Earlier this month Hi/fn introduced a complementary device whose features, performance and cost are appropriate to the DSL and cable modem markets. Hi/fn anticipates that revenues will not be materially impacted during fiscal year 2000 by the current new platform developments at Cisco. Hi/fn's fiscal year ends September 30th. Neil
