                 CYLINK CORP. REPORTS RESULTS FOR 3RD QUARTER,
                       RESTATES RESULTS FOR PRIOR PERIODS


         SUNNYVALE,  CA., December 16, 1998--Cylink  Corporation (NASDAQ:  CYLK,
CYLKE) today reported  financial  results for the third quarter ended  September
27,  1998,  and restated  results for both the first and second  quarters of the
current fiscal year as well as for 1997.

         On November 5, 1998,  the company  publicly  announced  that it and its
independent  accountants had initiated a review of revenue recognition practices
which  would  result in a  restatement  of  previously  issued  first and second
quarter 1998 results and that all three  quarters of 1998 were  expected to show
substantial  operating  losses.  During the review,  certain  facts became known
indicating  errors  had been  made in the  application  of  revenue  recognition
policies which also impacted the fourth  quarter of 1997, and as a result,  1997
full-year results have been restated.

         For the third quarter of 1998, the company  reported a net loss of $5.7
million,  or $.20 per share  (basic and  diluted)  on  revenues  totaling  $12.1
million.  In the same  quarter  a year  ago,  the  company's  net loss was $62.9
million,  or $2.37 per share (basic and diluted),  on revenues of $13.1 million.
Results for the third  quarter a year ago included net income from  discontinued
operations  of $.8 million,  or $.03 per share (basic and diluted) and a pretax,
non-recurring  purchased in-process technology charge of $63.9 million, or $2.41
per share (basic and diluted), for certain costs associated with the acquisition
of Algorithmic Research.

         The company's restated results for the second quarter of 1998 reflect a
net loss of $1.7 million,  or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) on revenues of
$12.4  million.  This  compares  with  previously  reported  net  income of $1.7
million, or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) on revenues of $18.0 million. In
the same quarter a year ago, the company's net income was $1.2 million,  or $.05
per share (basic and  diluted),  on revenues of $11.6  million.  Results for the
quarter a year ago  included  net income from  discontinued  operations  of $1.0
million, or $.04 per share (basic and diluted).

         The  company's  restated  results for the first quarter of 1998 reflect
net income of $19.1 million,  or $0.66 per share (basic and diluted) on revenues
of $8.1  million.  Restated net income for the first  quarter of 1998 includes a
loss from  discontinued  operations  of $0.3  million,  and an after tax gain on
disposal of discontinued  operations of $22.8 million, or $0.78 per share (basic
and diluted). These results compare with previously reported net income of $23.7
million, or $0.82 per share (basic and diluted) on revenues of $15.8 million. In
the same quarter a year ago, the company's net income was $1.1 million, or $0.04
per share,  on revenues of $9.4  million.  Net income for the quarter a year ago
included net income from  discontinued  operations of $1.2 million,  or $.04 per
share (basic and diluted).

         Results for the fourth  quarter of 1997 were also restated when certain
facts  became known that  affected  the  application  of the  company's  revenue
recognition  policies during that period. The company's restated results for the
forth  quarter of 1997  reflect a net loss of $1.2  million,  or $0.04 per share
(basic and  diluted)  on  revenues of $13.6  million.  Restated  results for the
fourth  quarter,  1997 included net income from  discontinued  operations of $.3
million or $.01 per share (basic and diluted).  Restated  results for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997 reflected a net loss of $61.7 million, or $2.31 per
share,  which includes net income from discontinued  operations of $3.2 million,
or $0.12  per  share.  Previously  reported  results  for the  fiscal  year 1997
reflected a net loss of $58.8 million, or $2.20 per share (basic and diluted) on
revenues of $49.3 million.  Previously reported results included net income from
discontinued  operations of $4.5 million,  or $.17 per share (basic and diluted)
and a  pretax,  non-recurring  purchase  in-process  technology  charge of $63.9
million,  or $2.39 per share (basic and diluted),  for certain costs  associated
with the acquisition of Algorithmic Research.

         The company has recently  repriced  employee  stock  options with reset
vesting  periods to ensure  Cylink's  ability to retain  essential  employee and
managerial talent. The timing of the repricing was influenced by the retroactive
deadline  imposed  by a  recent  Financial  Standards  Accounting  Board  (FASB)
proposal.  The proposal  could  require a significant  change to operations  had
options been repriced after the December 15, 1998 deadline. The company repriced
employee options for  approximately  two million shares,  and cancelled  options
covering  approximately  1.25 million shares held by prior members of the senior
management team. Neither William P. Crowell, Cylink's president and acting chief
executive  officer,  nor Roger A.  Barnes,  the  company's  new chief  financial
officer, are participating in the repricing, but Crowell has received additional
new options to reflect  expanded  responsibilities  when the board appointed him
president and acting chief executing officer.

         In a statement,  Crowell  said,  "In the past six weeks the company has
completed  realignment of organizational  responsibilities,  made  corresponding
adjustments in  management,  and put additional  focus on customer  service.  In
addition,  I have met with virtually all employees at our  Sunnyvale,  Tel Aviv,
U.K.,  New Jersey and  Washington  D.C.  facilities to review past issues and to
elicit their  support of our future  plans.  Product plan reviews have also been
completed and budgets to support new activities are now being developed.  We are
actively  engaged with  customers  in  reviewing  their major needs for security
products in the future."

         "These review have  demonstrated  that Cylink continues to have a loyal
customer base that is the envy of the security industry, excellent and motivated
employees,  excellent  products--with  more in development,  and a solid balance
sheet.  We believe that these  strengths will enable the new management  team to
move forward in realizing the potential of the company, "Crowell added.
