Tokyo, Japan and Wall, NJ, June 19, 2017 - BIO-key International, Inc. (OTCQB: BKYI), an innovative provider of biometric software and hardware solutions for strong and convenient user authentication, announced today that DDS Inc. (TYO:3782:JP), a leading Japanese security solutions provider, has selected BIO-key's SideSwipe finger scanners to provide secure biometric authentication for its custom, Windows based authentication solutions. DDS, which develops and delivers information security products to support the diverse online requirements of enterprise customers throughout Asia, has purchased an initial 30,000 devices for deployment in customer implementations. DDS is a system integrator for Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) Group, Japan's largest telecom, governmental organization and corporate customer.

"After researching options for an affordable, Windows-compatible fingerprint reader, BIO-key's compact readers, which are tested and qualified by Microsoft, stood out as the most compelling solution," stated Kenji Miyoshino, President & CEO, DDS. "We chose SideSwipe because of its performance capabilities, native integration with Windows and its ability to support DDS solution packages. SideSwipe works well with DDS's "EVE MA" solution, which offers flexible multifactor authentication options including ID Card and fingerprint, as well as our "EVE FA" solution for large scale ID programs with authentication taking place on the server."
