     TRUSTED AND SECURE FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION 

  • Establishes Trust in Transactions —  Device enables secure communications between the sensor and a centralized account management system, ensuring that only authorized users gain access. 

  • Encrypts Sensitive Data — Cryptographic toolkit provides data security throughout sensitive transactions, preventing man-in-the-middle and replay attacks. 

  • Resists Tampering — Cryptographic keys and other data stored on the device are protected by active hardware tamper detection and response.

  •  Provides Best Available Biometric Performance — Patented Lumidigm multispectral imaging technology leads the industry in real world fingerprint authentication performance. 

  • Prevents Fraudulent Verification Attempts — Award-winning liveness detection reliably distinguishes between fake and legitimate biometric characteristics.

USE CASES: 

  •  ATMs — second factor or PIN replacement

  • Tellers — confirm customer and teller identities

  • High-value transactions — wire transfers, portfolio management, B2B payments, secure web portal access

  • Government benefits — pension payments, public healthcare access

HID Global’s Lumidigm® V-Series V421 Fingerprint Sensors combine world-renowned Lumidigm biometric performance with data encryption, tamper detection/ response, and key management for trusted user authentication. Designed to simplify transactions for users while eliminating fraud for financial institutions, the V421 provides convenient and reliable biometric authentication in solutions requiring end-to-end security in transactions.

New to the V-Series, the cryptographic toolkit provides a broad set of tools that allow an organization to secure data transmissions. The V421 encrypts sensitive data for transactional security, preventing man-in-the-middle and replay attacks using mutual authentication between the host and the sensor. The tamper response capability on the V421 detects and resists physical tampering of cryptographic keys and other data stored on the device. Encrypted and authenticated firmware updates prevent malicious code loading.

The V421 offers exclusive multispectral imaging and best-in-class liveness detection that leverages the industry’s best-performing fingerprint sensor platform. Known for its ability to provide a quick and easy user experience while reducing the opportunity for fraud, HID Global’s Lumidigm technology gathers biometric data from the surface and subsurface of the finger to provide reliable, real world biometric authentication in any environment and with any user population. Strong, field-updatable liveness detection ensures that the person making the transaction is who they claim to be. 

The V421 supports multiple standard cryptography transaction models or can be customized for a proprietary, customerspecific solution. With flexible deployment options, the V421 will reduce fraud and restore trust in transactions.
