Lumidigm will be demonstrating its convenient, secure and reliable fingerprint authentication technology in stand #14 the ATMIA Africa Conference: 21st Century ATM for the Emerging New Africa, which will be held at the Radison Blu hotel, in Cape Town, from 9 to 11 October. As a leading supplier of biometrics technology to banks and citizens in South Africa through Bytes' Identity Management Solutions division (Bytes IDM), Lumidigm fingerprint technology delivers an easy and secure way to access accounts and execute financial transactions.
Today, Lumidigm sensors are a critical component of the new smart ID card programme being rolled out for all South Africans. Additionally, several of the largest private and public sector banks worldwide have selected Lumidigm as their biometric business partner to provide authentication services both at the teller and within an integrated ATM solution. Lumidigm's worldwide experience integrating its smart imaging technology at the ATM places the company in a unique position to provide best-in-class fingerprint biometric authentication, upgradable spoof detection and FIPS 140-2 level three encryption.
"Banks have specific requirements, such as reducing fraud, limiting duplicate records and providing personalised services, to increase customer loyalty," explains Greg Sarrail, Lumidigm Vice-President of Solutions Business Development. "ATMs must incorporate technology that performs consistently in all environments and in unattended settings. Lumidigm authentication solutions were designed to provide the best performance under these conditions."
Safeguarding financial assets requires the highest level of security without sacrificing convenient access. Lumidigm's hardened devices and ability to react and respond to new threats through software upgrades help financial customers preserve their technology investments. Lumidigm has the only sensor in the market today that can be upgraded after it has been deployed to deal with new vulnerabilities as they become known.
Lumidigm fingerprint sensors employ multi-spectral imaging technology, which reads fingerprints both at and below the surface of the skin. This technology uses a richer biometric data set for higher performance and passes the benefits on to bank members, who gain convenient and intuitive access to the system. Banks are ensured a secure operation and a trusted point of access, reducing fraud and increasing customer loyalty.
Greg Sarrail will participate in a panel discussion at the ATMIA conference. Entitled "Thinking Ahead", the expert panel will discuss the future of ATMs and cash technologies and how they will stay competitive and innovative in a rapidly changing world. The presentation will be held at 10:35am on Friday, 11 October.
