[Edaily Reporter Shin Young-bin] #Hancom With announced on the 19th that its facial authentication solution, “Hancom Auth,” has passed the performance evaluation for the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute’s (KFTC) distributed biometric information management service.

The Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute’s performance evaluation for distributed biometric information management is a program designed to verify the technical performance and security of systems that manage biometric authentication information by partitioning and distributing it rather than storing it in a single location. It consists of a distributed management suitability test, which examines the partitioning, interoperability, and transaction suitability of biometric information, and a biometric authentication performance test.

This evaluation serves as a key indicator for financial institutions to determine whether a biometric authentication solution meets safety and reliability standards when implementing it in customer-facing services or internal control systems.

Hancom OS passed both the distributed management compliance test and the biometric authentication performance test in this evaluation. The company explained that the technical maturity of the solution was verified across key criteria, including authentication accuracy, processing speed, system stability, and encryption levels.

Consequently, Hancom OS can securely split and recombine original biometric data in accordance with distributed management interoperability standards. The company explained that it protects biometric data to make hacking or theft difficult and, by adhering to standard data formats, ensures seamless integration even when replacing existing third-party facial recognition systems with Hancom OS.

Hancom OS has also demonstrated its technical capabilities in the field of facial forgery and alteration detection. It has obtained iBeta’s ISO/IEC 30107-3 PAD Level 2 certification and recorded excellent performance in the Track 3 liveness and PAD evaluations of the RIVTD remote identity verification technology assessment.

In terms of recognition performance, it demonstrated its technological competitiveness by obtaining the K-NBTC facial recognition algorithm performance test certification from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

Recently, the scope of application for distributed biometric authentication management technology has expanded beyond the financial sector to non-financial sectors as well. Based on its accumulated certification and evaluation results, Hancom With plans to supply secure facial recognition solutions to both the financial and non-financial markets.

Song Sang-yeop, CEO of Hancom With, stated, “Passing the biometric performance standards set by the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute objectively proves that Hancom OS is a solution that faithfully reflects the current state of the domestic financial market.” He added, “Based on this successful performance evaluation and our accumulated technical capabilities, we will further expand our competitiveness in the facial authentication market.”

He continued, “We will expand the competitiveness of Hancom With’s authentication technology into the global market by integrating it with next-generation security areas such as quantum-resistant cryptography-based security, AI authentication, and digital finance.”
