IT security and authentication platform company RaonSecure (co-CEOs Lee Sunhyung and Lee Jeonga) has signed a license agreement with Japanese cloud service specialist CyberLinks (CEO Higashi Naoki) for the issuance of digital credentials based on the OmniOne Digital ID platform, aiming to expand into the Japanese digital credential market.

RaonSecure and CyberLinks have maintained a cooperative relationship since signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2022 for the development of a Japanese electronic certificate distribution infrastructure, and with this agreement, their collaboration has entered a practical commercialization phase. Based on this contract, CyberLinks plans to provide digital credential services utilizing the OmniOne Digital ID platform to customers in Japan’s finance, distribution, and public sectors.

CyberLinks is a mid-sized Japanese cloud company specializing in finance, distribution, and public sectors, and is a leader in authentication and electronic certificate issuance services using the Japanese government’s official identification card, the My Number Card. To date, it has issued more than 1.4 million digital certificates, including the TOEIC digital certificate. Recently, as the Japanese government, led by the Digital Agency, pursues integrated digital innovation policies across the public and private sectors, demand for safe and reliable digital credentials has surged.

OmniOne Digital ID is an integrated blockchain-based digital identity and credential platform independently developed by RaonSecure. It enables not only personal identity verification but also the secure issuance and verification of various digital certificates, including qualifications, academic records, and career history. The platform provides a trusted infrastructure that meets the needs of Japan’s digital reform policies and the requirements of private financial and distribution companies. RaonSecure’s blockchain-based DID platform technology is also applied to the mobile identification cards issued by the Korean government.

Lee Sunhyung, CEO of RaonSecure, stated, “Expanding our business into the Japanese digital credential market through collaboration with CyberLinks is highly meaningful. Building on our proven achievements in biometric authentication in Japan, we will lead the digital credential market with OmniOne Digital ID and further strengthen our leadership in the global identity and credential authentication market.”

Mizuma Itsunobu, CTO of CyberLinks, commented, “We will work closely to ensure that RaonSecure’s DID technology is stably deployed in the Japanese market. In particular, we will operate RaonSecure’s DID platform as a strategic partner in the Japanese digital certificate market and create successful use cases together.”

Meanwhile, RaonSecure has already achieved stable results in the Japanese market, with its subscription-based biometric authentication service TouchEn OnePass surpassing 9 million monthly active users (MAU). With this contract, the company plans to further strengthen its presence in the Japanese digital authentication market by expanding its business from biometric authentication to digital credentials.
