Monday, May 19, 2008

Lumidigm’s patented Venus multispectral fingerprint sensors will now be part of every new Diebold identiCenter security system installation. Diebold’s identiCenter, powered by US Biometrics, is a biometric security solution for financial institutions that uses an individual’s fingerprint to identify account holders within a financial institution.

Lumidigm’s fingerprint sensors capture accurate and high-quality fingerprint images by exposing the fingerprint surface and subsurface at the same time. This capability permits Albuquerque-based Lumidigm to achieve high biometric performance in security applications without compromising convenience for the end user. [end]
