Identity Verification
+ FollowIdentity verification encompasses the technologies and frameworks used to confirm the authenticity of individuals, businesses and AI agents, as well as the scope of their authorization. Recent areas of focus range from phasing out one-time passwords and adopting facial recognition and risk-based authentication to trusted identity standards for AI agents, including FIDO, ANS and KYA. The EU Digital Identity Wallet, stablecoin regulation, accessible design and cybersecurity incidents involving vendors also highlight tensions among convenience, security and governance. As AI agents take part in financial and commercial activity, accountability for verification, data control and cross-platform interoperability warrant continued attention.
