Lumidigm Fingerprint Sensor Now Standard Equipment in Diebold
identiCenter®
US Biometrics Integrates Award-Winning Fingerprint Technology into
System
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 14, 2008 --
Diebold, Incorporated, US Biometrics Corporation, and Lumidigm Inc. have
joined forces to bring a new level of convenience, security and
reliability to Diebold’s identiCenter security
system. Lumidigm’s patented Venus
multispectral fingerprint sensors will now be part of every new
Diebold identiCenter installation. The technology was selected by US
Biometrics for Diebold’s innovative
identification solution because of the sensor’s
superior enrollment capability and ease of use. Later this year, Diebold
will be integrating biometrics with its drive-up systems and has
selected Lumidigm’s multispectral imaging
technology for these applications, thereby ensuring the security of
financial transactions in all weather conditions.
Diebold’s identiCenter, powered by US
Biometrics, is a biometric security solution for financial
institutions that uses an individual's fingerprint to quickly, securely
and accurately identify account holders within a financial institution.
It uses proven Lumidigm multispectral fingerprint technology to address
the threat of identity theft among consumers and financial institutions,
a concern that affects 10 million Americans at a total cost impact of
$50 billion annually.
Tim O'Neill, Diebold identiCenter product manager, is pleased with the
upgrade. “The Lumidigm sensor brings an
entirely new level of performance. It allows us the ability to enroll
customers that have very fine fingerprints that typically cannot be
captured on conventional optical sensors,”
said O’Neill. “Customer
satisfaction is paramount, and the Lumidigm sensor helps Diebold achieve
that.”
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
Lumidigm to achieve high biometric performance in security applications
without compromising convenience for the end user. It also allows use in
environments where other sensors fail.
“US Biometrics selected Lumidigm for
identiCenter because no other fingerprint solution provides the
performance in challenging conditions that we have seen demonstrated by
Lumidigm sensors,” said David Delgrosso,
President of US Biometrics. “This technology
enables the use of biometrics just about anywhere.”
