The Identity Map / IDV/KYC
Identity Verification / KYC / Fraud
Proving a real person is who they claim: document and biometric verification, KYC/AML, and fraud signals.
This is the largest and most fragmented branch of the tree, where a digital identity meets a real human. Vendors verify government documents, match a live selfie for liveness, screen against sanctions and KYC/AML lists, and score fraud and synthetic-identity risk at onboarding. Regulation, deepfakes, and reusable identity are reshaping the category faster than almost any other.
