Solution Prevents Duplicate Registrations and Issues Voter Rolls and

National ID Cards

WALL, N.J. and DHAKA, Bangladesh, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BIO-key International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BKYI), a leader in finger-based biometric identification and wireless public safety, and Tiger IT BD Ltd. (Tiger IT), a leader in both prepackaged and customized software solutions, today announced that they have been awarded an exclusive contract for the biometric-based credentialing solution for the Bangladesh Voter Registration Project.

The biometric enrollment process takes about 5 to 6 minutes per person.

"Tiger IT's implementation of WEB-key(R) performed above expectations. Operating at more than 1 million matches per second on a single processor, it accurately identified duplicate registrations," said Ziaur Rahman, Managing Director of Tiger IT. "This performance, combined with the outstanding methodology developed by the Bangladesh Army to collect and process the data, sets the stage to complete the nationwide registration by the summer of 2008."

Beyond establishing more accurate voter rolls to facilitate the upcoming election in 2008, the ability to verify one's identity provides significant benefits in the course of each citizen's daily life. For example, the National ID card is used by each c
