[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Hancom With, an affiliate of Hancom Group, is partnering with Naver to secure a leading position in the private authentication market.

On the 15th, Hancom With signed a "Business Agreement for Cooperation in the Private Authentication Business" with Naver at Hancom Tower in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.

Through this agreement, Hancom With will provide private authentication services utilizing its existing PKI infrastructure, while Naver will serve as the issuing authority, issuing secure certificates that customers can trust.

Based on 21 years of accumulated technology and customer base from supplying certified authentication solutions, Hancom With plans to offer customized consulting and technical support for the introduction of the "Naver Certificate."

Hancom With has rapidly responded to the private authentication market by launching the web-based, installation-free simple authentication solution "Anypin" in 2018, supplying it to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, among others. Since then, it has developed various authentication technologies, including acquiring FIDO2 certification, an international biometric authentication technology standard, for its biometric authentication solution "Hancom Pass," which supports biometric authentication on PCs, mobile devices, and IoT platforms.

The signing ceremony was attended by key officials from both companies, including Hong Seung-pil, CEO of Hancom With, and Oh Kyung-soo, Head of Naver's Authentication Business. CEO Hong stated, "Through this cooperation, we will provide authentication services with strong security and convenience to secure competitiveness in the private authentication market."
