FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------
November 4, 1998

                 V-ONE CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
                 -----------------------------------------------

GERMANTOWN, MD, November 4, 1998 -- V-ONE Corporation (Nasdaq: VONE) today
announced revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 of $2.4
million, down 13 percent from revenues of $2.8 million reported for the same
period in 1997. The net loss for the third quarter of 1998 was $1.4 million or
$(0.10) per share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million or $(0.03) per share
for the third quarter in 1997.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $8.3 million, a 14
percent increase over revenues of $7.3 million for the same period in 1997. The
net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $3.2 million or
$(0.24) per share compared to a net loss of $4.5 million or $(0.35) per share
for the same period in 1997.

After providing for a preferred stock dividend and for a deemed dividend, the
net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1.5 million, or $(0.10) per
share, for the third quarter of 1998 and the net loss attributable to common
stockholders was $3.3 million, or $(0.25) per share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.

"Our financial performance for the quarter obscures our strength in our markets
and does not reflect our success in expanding our presence in those markets.
During the quarter, the Company entered into a number of transactions in which
the earnings recognition process was not yet complete. Accordingly, the Company
expects to recognize approximately $2 million of revenue related to these
transactions over the next several quarters," said Dave Dawson, Chairman and CEO
of V-ONE.

In our 8-K filing of September 22, 1998 regarding the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock held by Advantage Fund II Ltd., we indicated that we were
evaluating our options for raising the funds necessary to redeem those shares.
Management continues actively to pursue its options to raise additional capital.



We fully expect to report record revenue for the fourth quarter; we continue to
gain momentum in the VPN marketplace; and we are confident that the investments
we have made in our technology, our people and in building effective sales
channels, will shortly begin to pay significant dividends and enhance
shareholder value."



Quarterly highlights

The Company executed and expanded several business relationships in the third
quarter that demonstrates V-ONE's emerging presence as a premier provider of
security solutions to the VPN marketplace:


<PAGE>

o    Extended the company's relationship with ASCII Network Technology (ASCII
     NT), one of Japan's leading software distribution companies. ASCII NT has
     had considerable success in Japan with SmartGate, most notably with the
     SmartGate deployment at CSK Corporation, Japan's leading system integration
     company. ASCII NT is a joint venture of ACSII Corporation and Microsoft
     Corporation.

o    Singapore Telecom standardized on SmartGate after a lengthy comparison of
     VPN products from a variety of vendors. V-ONE also announced the opening of
     a Singapore office staffed by local networking technology experts to
     maximize the company's market opportunity in the area.


o    Signed a software development agreement with Motorola for the integration
     of V-ONE's Air SmartGate secure paging technology into Motorola's
     FLEX(TM)suite for high-speed pagers, enabling Motorola's FLEX and
     ReFLEX(TM) pagers to support message security for pager-to-pager,
     pager-to-e-mail, and e-mail-to-pager text messages


o    Signed Integralis, one of Europe's premier network security and integration
     companies, as a distributor for SmartGate. This is particularly significant
     since Integralis is the largest European distribution channel for the Check
     Point Software Technologies' industry-leading FireWall-1. This makes it
     clear that large Checkpoint integrators and resellers are looking for
     advantages that only SmartGate VPN can provide.

o    Signed an agreement with Trusted Computer Solutions to jointly develop a
     SmartGate version for Trusted Solaris, an ultra secure operating system
     that is used extensively by the financial community and classified
     government agencies.


o    Selected by one of Mainland China's key business to business ISPs as their
     VPN solution.


"These  initiatives  and  successes in terms of  establishing  and enhancing our
presence in several  important  markets give  evidence  that our strategy -- and
more importantly our execution of that strategy -- of providing  premier network
security solutions is beginning to take hold," concluded Mr. Dawson.


Providing top-rated security products since 1993, V-ONE Corporation develops and
licenses SmartGate(R),  a patented,  award-winning client/server product that is
the foundation of V-ONE's Multi-Access Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology.
Major  financial  institutions,  government  agencies,  and  large  health  care
organizations use SmartGate for their integrated authentication,  encryption and
access control  options.  SmartGate  tightly manages  controlled users accessing
sensitive  data  without   changing  an   organization's   existing   firewalls,
applications,  legacy systems,  or network  architecture.  SmartGate also allows
varying degrees of trust to be established in a network, ensuring that different
levels  of access  are  permitted  for  different  groups  of  users.  In April,
SmartGate  won  the  overall  Best  of  Show  award  at  Networld+Interop  98 in
Singapore.  V-ONE is  headquartered  in  Germantown,  MD.  Product and  security
