Lumidigm and Innometriks, developers of biometric technologies, have had their biometric and smart card reader pass the Transportation Security Administration’s evaluation for trial use in the Transportation Worker Identification Credential program.

The product uses Innometriks’ Rhino, which is a smart card based access control system designed for rugged conditions, and incorporates multispectral imaging fingerprint technology from Lumidigm, which enables for operation in rough weather and with poor samples while also preventing fraud. Lumidigm’s technology reads beyond the surface of the fingerprint to make sure an actual finger is being presented to the scanner.
