Proof, Enigma link KYB to authorized people, AI agents with biometrics Proof and Enigma have launched Business Certificates, a cryptographic credential that connects a verified business identity to the people and digital systems authorized to act on its behalf. Enigma provides the know-your-business (KYB) data used to verify a company’s identity, confirm whether it remains active and in good standing, and identify its owners and other key people. The company says it continuously refreshes these records using government filings, state registries, federal records, sanctions watchlists, and beneficial ownership information. Proof contributes its identity and authorization infrastructure. It verifies the individuals representing the business and issues the Business Certificate to link the business, its representatives, and the authorized action. The same model is also extended to AI agents acting under authority given by the company. The certificate is tied to a specific action rather than being stored only as an onboarding record. It can be attached to a wire instruction, a request to change a vendor’s bank account, a contract, an invoice, a press release, an executive statement, or an instruction submitted by an AI agent. The receiving organization could then check that the action originated from the business was approved by a verified representative. Proof verifies the individual, Enigma connects the person to the business In the process of verifying the individual representing the business, Proof uses its identity verification and authorization infrastructure. Proof supports verification aligned with NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2), which establishes that an applicant is associated with a real-world identity. The business representative is asked to submit personal information and government-issued identity evidence, such as a driver’s license or passport. Proof analyzes the credential and asks the person to capture a live facial image. Its biometric comparison then checks whether the person taking the selfie
