    Redwood City and Santa Clara, Calif., June 1 -- RSA Data Security, 
Inc. and Network Associates  today announced that the companies have 
settled patent infringement and copyright lawsuits brought by RSA 
against Network Associates and its subsidiaries PGP, Inc., and Trusted

into a new royalty-bearing license for RSA's crypto-security engines, 
providing Network Associates with rights to include RSA components 
within a number of Network Associates, PGP, and TIS products.

for legal fees.  As a result of today's settlement agreement, three 
federal actions and a court-ordered arbitration related to the dispute 
have been resolved.
