Hancom WITH said on June 19 that its facial authentication solution, Hancom Auth, has passed the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute (KFTC) performance evaluation for distributed biometric information management.
The KFTC evaluation program verifies the technical performance and security of systems that manage biometric authentication data through a distributed architecture rather than storing information in a single location. The assessment serves as a key benchmark for financial institutions when determining whether biometric authentication solutions satisfy the security and reliability requirements needed for customer-facing services and internal control systems.
According to the company, Hancom Auth successfully passed both the distributed management compliance assessment and biometric authentication performance tests, which evaluate authentication accuracy, processing speed, system stability, and encryption capabilities.
Hancom WITH said the results validate the technological maturity and security of its facial recognition platform.
"The fact that Hancom Auth has met the biometric performance standards established by KFTC objectively demonstrates that the solution reflects the requirements of the Korean financial industry," said Song Sang-yeob, chief executive officer of Hancom WITH.
"Based on this certification and our accumulated technological expertise, we will further strengthen our competitiveness in the facial authentication market," he added.
