Raonsecure said on the 23rd that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with education-sector artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Ubion for joint university projects and digital education innovation.
Through this agreement, the two corporations plan to upgrade identity authentication and credentialing systems in digital education by using Blockchain-based decentralized identity (DID) technology. Raonsecure's identity and credential issuance/verification platform "OmniOne Digital ID" and international-standard digital badge platform "OmniOne Badge" will be linked and applied to Ubion's integrated learning management solution "COSMOS LXP."
The two corporations aim to jointly build a digital education certification system that manages and verifies learners' study histories, outcomes, and qualification information without falsification or tampering. The goal is to raise trust in learning outcomes and credential verification in digital education environments.
Raonsecure currently provides the OmniOne Badge service to major universities including Seoul National University, Chung-Ang University, and Konkuk University, as well as Seoul Women's University, and is also carrying out identity verification and credential issuance projects using OmniOne Digital ID for educational institutions.
With this partnership as a starting point, the two corporations will also review opportunities to collaborate in the global education market. As Ubion is developing global education businesses for international students mainly in Asia, South America, and Africa, they plan to discuss ways to apply Raonsecure's Blockchain-based identity authentication and credentialing technology to global projects.
Yun Won-seok, vice president of Raonsecure, said, "In digital education environments, the importance of technologies that reliably manage and verify learning outcomes and credentials is growing," and added, "Through our collaboration with Ubion, we will expand the use of Blockchain-based identity authentication and credentialing technologies in the education sector."
