Lumidigm has announced that it has entered a partnership with identity solutions distributor IdentyTech Solutions for distribution in Israel.

The new agreement will see IdentyTech’s terminals and other identity solutions integrated with Lumidigm’s multispectral fingerprint scanners, which use both surface and subsurface fingerprint data for a more accurate print match in both good and poor environments. In addition to the agreement expanding Lumidigm’s reach, IdentyTech is also involved in field testing Lumidigm’s products bringing them new clients as well as new applications for use of the technology such as civil ID and access control applications.  

The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced a competition to award a approximately $10 million for pilot projects to accelerate progress toward improved systems for interoperable, trusted online credentials that go beyond simple user IDs and passwords.
