LAS VEGAS, 11/15/1999 -
SAC Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: SACM), a leading biometric 'Identification' technology development company, today announced the debut of its latest 6th generation ID.ME™ biometric identification fingerprint reader with integrated applications, featuring Bio-Key™ technology at the Fall 1999 COMDEX trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

CompuMark, LLC, a SAC Master Distributor and integration partner, announced the completion of the successful integration of I/O Software's Biometric SecureSuite™ with the ID.ME™ reader. I/O's SecureSuite™ is a group of integrated applications that bring the convenience and security of biometric and other authentication methods to a PC or network environment for Windows based operating systems. SecureSuite™ applications include: SecureLogon™ which biometrically controls access to a PC; SecureSession™, a password bank/single sign-on utility; SecureFolder™, a file and folder encryption and protection application; SecureApp™, a security tool which prevents any application (such as games, browsers or accounting software) from being launched by unauthorized users, and SecureEntrust™ which supports Entrust Technologies Public-Key infrastructure (PKI), and allows Entrust/PKI users to take advantage of SecureSuite™'s biometric authentication services.

Internet Service Provider and application developer, All American Internet, Inc. (AAI), a CompuMark, LLC licensed reseller and channel distributor, introduced on-line ordering at www.biometrickey.com for pre-orders of the new SAC ID.ME™ reader and I/O's SecureSuite™ software package. AAI is also demonstrating secure Internet logon utilizing Bio-Key™ technology for Web-based applications.

"ID.ME™ identification featuring Bio-Key™ technology is the answer to many of the problems facing E-commerce and Web-based applications," expressed John Monteleone, AAI's Chief Executive Officer. "The basic problem with most current security and identification solutions such as digital certificates is that there is still no way to absolutely identify the system user. The ID.ME™ fingerprint reader and operating software create a unique Bio-Key™, a mathematical representation of a physical characteristic of your fingerprint, which eliminates this inherent flaw in typical solutions."

"The Web-based applications for this technology are countless. From E-commerce transactions to Web site logon, Bio-Keys™ can be used standalone or in conjunction with digital certificates, passwords and other token based identifiers."

"SAC's goal," explained Mr. Barry Wendt, SAC Technologies Chief Executive Officer, "is to provide the very best biometric 'identification' technology to our distribution and integration partners such as CompuMark, LLC and All American Internet, Inc. Through these alliances we plan to continue to evolve our core technology and improve the reliability, utility and cost effectiveness of the product for mainstream applications."

SAC's 6th generation ID.ME™ reader bundled with the I/O SecureSuite™ is projected to be available for delivery by mid-2000.

CompuMark, LLC and All American Internet Web-based applications will be the featured highlight at the SAC Technologies' exhibit booth #B1037 in the Biometrics Pavilion at the Fall 1999 COMDEX, November 15-19, 1999, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
