Lumidigm and Verimetrics Collaborate on Biometrics-Based Single Sign-On Solutions

  • Feb 03, 2011

Lumidigm has announced that Verimetrics has selected Lumidigm’s Mercury and Venus fingerprint readers as its preferred biometric platforms for SmartProfile deployments in a wide range of environments, including hospitals, emergency response vehicles and retail stores. With Lumidigm sensors, Verimetrics’ biometric single sign-on (SSO) solution succeeds in real-world conditions ranging from sub-zero temperatures to the use of latex gloves.

“Our SmartProfile solution provides enterprise SSO capabilities that require strong authentication technologies, such as Lumidigm fingerprint sensors, our preferred biometric component,” says Guillaume Turbide, vice president of business development and marketing at Verimetrics. “Lumidigm’s multispectral imaging technology allows Verimetrics to recommend our SmartProfile solution with utmost confidence to those customers who have applications in a wide range of environmental and usage conditions. Users will get a good read the moment they lay their finger on the Lumidigm sensor.”

“We are honored to partner with Verimetrics to deliver a market-leading biometric SSO solution,” said Dave Cullen of Lumidigm’s healthcare solutions. “SmartProfile software provides streamlined access to multiple systems within the business enterprise. Lumidigm extends the Verimetrics value proposition with our patented multispectral imaging technology that authenticates in non-standard conditions, such as moisture, dryness, dust, low temperatures or worn and damaged fingerprints. Gone are the days when end-users must present their fingerprint over and over again to authenticate. Lumidigm fingerprint sensors eliminate these problems, enhancing the user’s experience while improving productivity.”

Lumidigm multispectral fingerprint sensors capture fingerprint data beneath the surface of the skin so that dryness, or even damaged or worn fingers, creates no problems for reliable reads. Using multiple wavelengths of light and advanced polarization techniques to extract unique fingerprint characteristics from both the surface and subsurface of the skin, Lumidigm’s sensors provide results that are more consistent, more inclusive and more tamper-resistant than conventional biometric readers.

SmartProfile readers are used in healthcare organizations, financial centers, government operations, retail stores, offices, research centers, airports, shipping ports and national borders among other applications.

  • The Key to Wellbeing in the Office

    A few years ago, all we saw in the news was the ‘great resignation.’ Now we have another ‘great’ to deal with. According to CBRE, 2023 was the start of the ‘great return’ as office workers returned to their normal offices after working from home. The data shows that two-thirds of all U.S office buildings were more than 90% leased as of Q2 2023. Read Now

  • Failed Cybersecurity Controls Costing U.S. Businesses $30 Billion Yearly

    Panaseer recently released ControlWatch and the Continuous Controls Battle: Panaseer 2025 Security Leaders Report examining the cost of cybersecurity control failures and the impact of growing personal liability for security failings on security leaders. The report analyzes the findings of a survey of 400 security decision makers (SDMs) across the US and UK. It shows that security leaders feel under increasing pressure to provide assurances around cybersecurity, exposing them to greater personal risk – yet many lack the data and resources to accurately report and close cybersecurity gaps.

  • The Business Case for Video Analytics: Understanding the Real ROI

    For security professionals who may be hesitant to invest in video analytics, now's the time to reconsider. In a newly released Omdia report commissioned by BriefCam (now Milestone Systems), the research firm uncovered a compelling story: more than 85% of North American and European organizations that use video analytics achieve a return on investment within just one year. The study, which surveyed 140 end users across multiple industries, demonstrates that security technology is no longer just for security — it's a cross-organizational tool that delivers measurable business value far beyond traditional safety applications.

  • Survey: 54% of Organizations Cite Technical Debt as Top Hurdle to Identity System Modernization

    Modernizing identity systems is proving difficult for organizations due to two key challenges: decades of accumulated Identity and Access Management (IAM) technical debt and the complexity of managing access across multiple identity providers (IDPs). These findings come from the new Strata Identity-commissioned report, State of Multi-Cloud Identity: Insights and Trends for 2025. The report, based on survey data from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), highlights trends and challenges in securing cloud environments. The CSA is the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. Read Now
