# Identity Verification

## Identity Verification

The Identity Verification category in MOSIP encompasses modules responsible for authenticating and verifying the identity of individuals using various mechanisms. Below are the modules under this category, each with a brief description and a link to their respective overview pages:

* [**ID Authentication Services**](https://github.com/mosip/documentation/blob/1.2.0/docs/id-lifecycle-management/id-authentication-services/README.md): Provides APIs for authenticating individuals based on their identity data, including demographic and biometric information.
* **ID Authentication (IDA)**: IDA module in MOSIP is an independent service that enables seamless identity verification using data from any system. Multiple IDA modules can run from a single issuer, providing services like authentication, OTP generation, and internal processes.
