Digital Identity Friday Five: June 13, 2025
Covering the most interesting news for the week of June 7 to June 13
Today is Friday the 13th of June. This week I’m sharing five things that I found interesting in the new The Prism Project Deepfake & Synthetic Identity Report
C. Maxine Most & I were in #LasVegas last week at Identiverse where the report was officially launched
This report delivers independent, urgent analysis of the escalating risks posed by AI-driven deepfakes and synthetic identities
1/ Amazing Line Up of #digitalidentity Sponsors & Partners
Notable sponsors include: Anonybit, AuthenticID, Aware, Inc., Daon, DuckDuckGoose AI, FIDO Alliance, Ideem, IDEMIA, ID R&D, iProov, Kantara Initiative, Keyless, Mitek Systems, Paravision, Persona, Secure Technology Alliance, Veriff, ZeroBiometrics™ and many more
Partners include Identity Week, ID Tech, KYC AML Guide, & PEAK IDV
2/ Synthetic Identity Fraud Attacks Diagram
The report highlights how deepfake identity elements are leveraged in image, audio, and video reproduction
It shows how fraudsters and bad actors use counterfeit identity elements and mixes of authentic and counterfeit personal information to attack
Concepts like full synthetic, partial synthetic, and hybrid synthetic are outlined

3/ Identity Verification Process Vulnerabilities
The #IDV process diagram shows at what stages these attacks are deployed
At data capture
In signal processing
Against automated comparisons
And in exploiting weaknesses #identityverification decision engines
Where are biometrics, credentials, and environment risks the highest?

4/ A New Biometric Digital Identity Deepfake and Synthetic Landscape
The Prism Landscape has also evolved and features a "Deepfake & Synthetic Identity Trailblazer" with iProov and Adobe at the center for their pioneering work
In the landscape, you'll see classifications such as Pulsar, Catalyst, Luminary, and Refractor

5/ An All-New Vendor Luminosity Graph
Finally, vendors often provide solutions in different beams, in past reports it was difficult to represent breadth
The report introduces the concept of "Luminosity Graph"
Those that sponsored the report with a half-page or full-age profile are further highlighted using this Luminosity Graph
The number of colored segments represents the proportional presence the organization has in the given segment of the overall biometric digital identity ecosystem

All this along with an educational "Crash Course: The Identity Arms Race," a countermeasure breakdown, and Identity Threats by Vertical Market overview make this report the leading asset for making sense of this dynamic market
Congrats to the team at Acuity Market Intelligence and to all the report sponsors and featured solution providers
