Biometrics Institute gathers insights on ‘Keeping it Real’ from over 30 providers

The biometrics industry must prioritize authenticity and transparency in response to the rapid expansion of generative AI and synthetic media, according to the Biometrics Institute. To that end, the Institute has published a new report that collects over 30 submissions from organizations such as Thales, Idemia, SITA and many more. The submissions feature expert views on areas such as deepfakes and synthetic media, border management and travel, remote IDV, as well as ethics and governance.

The 2026 Concepts and Solutions Report is a collection of thought leadership from the Biometrics Institute’s global membership, published just as the industry organization celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Among submissions are those of Aware, which explained the role of active and passive liveness detection as Proof of Personhood, while Amadeus wrote about algorithmic bias and fairness in the travel and mobility industry.​

The focus of Entrust’s submission was on preventing deepfake fraud, a topic also covered by FaceTec, Thales, and Idemia. Fujitsu is supporting strengthening live facial recognition through behavioural analytics, while HID offered a list of the most important trends in biometrics.​

BixeLab argued that independent evaluations should address presentation attacks, synthetic media, injection techniques and channel manipulation, while Cognitec wrote about the future of age assurance.​

The advantages of palm recognition were explained in a submission from Innovatrics, while iProov talked about virtual camera attacks. Trust Stamp explained how its Biometric Security Modules bind cryptographic controls not just to devices but to verified humans, while Signicat presented its case for combining video-based biometrics and NFC-verified identity documents.

​Other papers came from companies including Fime, Jumio, Paravision, SAIC, Regula and more.
