Naver Challenges with 'Gukmin Certificate' "Will Increase Usage Locations Tenfold Next Year"

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] With the enforcement of the amended Electronic Signature Act abolishing the status of the public certificate, Naver announced on the 11th that it has surpassed 54 certificate partners and 2 million issuance cases.

Naver stated, "Starting from this month, when the use of private certificates is becoming full-fledged, we plan to grow more than tenfold in terms of usage locations and issuance cases by the end of next year."

Naver has been actively entering the certificate business since March. Although considered a latecomer in the industry, the company explained that one-stop authentication utilizing the integration with the Whale Browser has been well received. When a Naver certificate is issued through the PC Whale Browser, the certificate is stored in the browser, allowing authentication without a mobile device.

From mid-December, Naver certificates can be used on the National Pension Service's webpage and app. Naver certificates can be used for pension subscription applications and checking details. It is also possible to log in with a Naver certificate on the Korea Real Estate Board's 'Cheongyak Home'. From subscription application to eligibility verification and winning status inquiry, all services of the Korea Real Estate Board can be easily accessed.

Naver also announced plans to enhance the security level of the internet ecosystem by integrating the Naver certificate with the 'Login with Naver ID' function currently used at about 30,000 locations.

Oh Kyung-soo, the leader in charge of the Naver certificate service, said, "We place convenience and safety as the most important values and will continue to showcase user experiences that only Naver can provide both online and offline," adding, "We will further enhance the service to rapidly expand usage locations and provide diverse usability."
