                               Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies/Gentlemen:

           We have acted as counsel to V-ONE Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Corporation"),   in  connection   with  the  preparation  and  filing  of  the
above-captioned   Registration   Statement  on  Form  S-3,  Registration  Number
333-_____  ("Registration  Statement"),  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended, covering the resale of 250,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value
per share  ("Common  Stock"),  of the  Corporation  payable as a dividend on the
Company's Series C Preferred Stock ("Series C Dividend Shares"), 93,092 of which
Series C Dividend  Shares have been issued and  274,967  shares of Common  Stock
held directly by Citrix Systems, Inc.

           We have examined copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
forming a part  thereof,  the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  and Bylaws of the
Corporation,  each as amended to date,  the  minutes  of  various  meetings  and
unanimous written consents of the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the
Corporation, and original, reproduced or certified copies of such records of the
Corporation and such agreements,  certificates of public officials, certificates
of officers and  representatives  of the Corporation and others,  and such other
documents,  papers,  statutes and  authorities  as we deem necessary to form the
basis  of the  opinions  hereinafter  expressed.  In such  examination,  we have
assumed  the  genuineness  of all  signatures  and the  conformity  to  original
documents of all documents  supplied to us as copies. As to various questions of
fact material to such opinions,  we have relied upon statements and certificates
of officers and representatives of the Corporation and others.

           Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 274,967 shares
of Common Stock held by Citrix  Systems,  Inc. and the 93,092  Series C Dividend
Shares issued are duly and validly  issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable,  and
that the remaining  156,908 Series C Dividend Shares,  when issued in accordance
with the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
