In April, 2014, Lumidigm, Inc. was aquired by HID Global, a Texas-based subsidiary of Swedish firm Assa Abloy. Lumidigm develops biometric and anti-spoofing technologies, based upon optical measurements of skin tissue. Enabling convenient, secure, and reliable identification and verification, Lumidigm powered sensors work because they produce high-quality images every time, in all conditions. The technology is being incorporated in applications such as smart handguns, wireless devices, automobiles, entry/exit controls, etc. to provide biometric authorization. Lumidigm sensors resist interference from water and direct sunlight and utilize multispectral analysis
