LaonSecure (CEOs Lee Soon-hyung and Lee Jeong-ah) , an IT security and authentication platform company, announced on the 29th that it has signed a licensing agreement with Cyberlinks (CEO Higashi Naoki), a Japanese cloud service specialist, for a digital credential issuance business based on OmniOne Digital ID. Through this agreement, the two companies plan to advance into the Japanese digital credential market.
RaonSecure and CyberLinks have been collaborating since signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2022 to develop a distribution infrastructure for Japanese electronic certificates. This licensing agreement marks the beginning of a full-scale commercialization phase. CyberLinks plans to provide digital credential services utilizing the OmniOne Digital ID platform to customers in the financial, distribution, and public sectors in Japan.
Cyberlinks, a mid-sized Japanese cloud company, operates authentication and electronic certificate issuance services utilizing the "My Number Card," the Japanese government's official identification card. Currently, the company has issued over 1.4 million digital certificates, including TOEIC digital certificates. Demand for digital credentials is increasing as the Japanese government recently pursues a public-private integrated digital innovation policy centered around the Digital Agency.
OmniOne Digital ID, developed by Raonsecure, is a blockchain-based digital identity and credential integration platform. It not only verifies personal identity but also securely issues and verifies various digital certificates, including qualifications, academic background, and career history. This platform provides a trust infrastructure that meets the Japanese government's digital reform policies and the needs of the private finance and distribution sectors. Furthermore, Raonsecure's blockchain-based DID (Decentralized Identification) platform technology has been applied to the mobile ID issued by the South Korean government.
“It is very meaningful that we have expanded our business into the Japanese digital credential market through our collaboration with Cyberlinks,” said Lee Soon-hyung, CEO of RaonSecure. “We will strengthen our leadership in the global identity and credential authentication market based on our biometric authentication technology proven in Japan and the OmniOne Digital ID platform.”
Cyberlinks CTO Mizuma Itsunobu stated, “We will work closely with LaonSecure to ensure that their DID technology can spread steadily in the Japanese market,” and “We will operate LaonSecure’s platform as a strategic partner in the digital certificate market and create success stories.”
