Gibo, Introduction of Blockchain-Based Digital Employee ID Card

Office Access Authentication and Various Internal Tasks Possible with Smartphone

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Kim Jong-ho, hereinafter referred to as Kibo) announced on the 6th that it will introduce and operate a blockchain-based digital employee ID that can be used for various internal tasks in order to digitally transform its overall business processes.

The blockchain-based digital employee ID applies decentralized identity verification (DID) technology. This is an identity verification technology that enhances security by allowing individuals to directly manage personal information that was previously collected and controlled through a central server and online. Based on DID technology, Kibo linked employees' smartphones to the blockchain and stored employee ID information and personal data on the smartphones, allowing authentication by entering a key, enabling safe and convenient use of internal tasks without concerns of forgery or tampering.

Employees can receive a digital employee ID on their smartphones, enabling convenient access to various internal tasks such as office entry authentication, use of the on-site cafeteria, and attendance at meetings without the need for a plastic ID card. When using groupware through an external network, the secondary authentication function of the digital employee ID can be used for safe and fast access.

Executive Director Lee Jong-bae of Kibo stated, "Kibo plans to provide blockchain-based digital IDs to corporate clients in the future, continuously expanding various non-face-to-face services such as electronic document collection, smart contracts, guarantee agreement execution, and guarantee period extensions."
