         RE:      Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I am Associate General Counsel of RSA Security Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and am issuing this opinion in connection with the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for
the purpose of registering with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), 668,994 shares of common stock of the
Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), issuable upon the exercise of
options granted under the the Company's 1998 Non-Officer Employee Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). In this connection, I have examined and
am familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Plan, (iii) the Third
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-laws of
the Company, as amended, each as currently in effect, (iv) certain resolutions
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance of the
Shares and certain related matters and (v) such other documents, certificates
and records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the
opinions set forth herein. In such examination, I have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents
of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies
and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. I also assume that
appropriate action will be taken, prior to the offer and sale of the Shares in
accordance with the Plan, to register and qualify the Shares for sale under all
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws. As to any facts material to the
opinions expressed herein that I have not independently established or verified,
I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other
representatives of the Company and others.

         I am admitted to the Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and do
not purport to be an expert on, or express any opinion concerning, any law other
than the substantive law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when the Shares have been
paid for and certificates therefor have been issued and delivered upon exercise
of options in accordance with the terms of the Plan


<PAGE>   2



as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Shares will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am
in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder.

         This opinion is furnished by me, as counsel to the Company, in
connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and, except as provided
in the immediately preceding paragraph, is not to be used, circulated, quoted
for any other purpose or otherwise referred to or relied upon by any other
person without the express written permission of the Company.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Kathryn L. Leach
                                        -----------------------------------
