Revolutionizing KYC & AML Through Global Identification

Identity verification has always been the backbone of trust in human societies. From merchants on the Silk Road to modern digital bankers, the question “Who are you?” defines the legitimacy of every transaction. Yet today, fragmented identity systems slow globalization, increase compliance costs, and leave loopholes for exploitation.
This book proposes a Global Identification System—a universal identity layer to unify KYC and AML worldwide. It builds on earlier contributions:

• 2016: Concept of Global Identification.
• 2018: Application to KYC/AML.
• 2025: A consolidated framework integrating technology, ethics, and governance.

The book unfolds across 25 chapters, tracing the evolution of identity systems, analyzing weaknesses, and presenting a roadmap for adoption. It argues that Global Identification is not just compliance—it is civilizational infrastructure for safer globalization.
Synopsis: The chapters begin with history, showing how identity evolved from seals and guilds to biometrics and digital IDs. They then analyze globalization’s compliance challenges, highlight weaknesses of fragmented systems, and align the proposal with global initiatives like ID4D, the UN Pact, and FATF. The core chapters present the solution: a unique global ID, blockchain ledger, zero-knowledge proofs, federated databases, AI anomaly detection, and interoperability standards. Ethical and policy considerations ensure dignity and sovereignty. The roadmap includes research, pilots, book dissemination, app prototypes, and training courses.
Ultimately, this book argues that Global Identification is not merely a compliance tool—it is a civilizational blueprint for safer globalization.
