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.

  • Gaining a Competitive Edge

    Ask most companies about their future technology plans and the answers will most likely include AI. Then ask how they plan to deploy it, and that is where the responses may start to vary. Every company has unique surveillance requirements that are based on market focus, scale, scope, risk tolerance, geographic area and, of course, budget. Those factors all play a role in deciding how to configure a surveillance system, and how to effectively implement technologies like AI. Read Now

  • 6 Ways Security Awareness Training Empowers Human Risk Management

    Organizations are realizing that their greatest vulnerability often comes from within – their own people. Human error remains a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches, making it imperative for organizations to address human risk effectively. As a result, security awareness training (SAT) has emerged as a cornerstone in this endeavor because it offers a multifaceted approach to managing human risk. Read Now

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area. 3
