Naver Pay has enhanced the safety and reliability of its facial payment service by obtaining international certification in biometric information protection.
On November 4, Naver Pay announced that it has received the ISO 24745 certification, a first in South Korea. This certification pertains to international standards for biometric information protection established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It comprehensively evaluates protective measures during the storage and transmission of biometric data, as well as internal management systems and the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
With this certification, Naver Pay confirmed that its facial recognition authentication and payment service, known as 'FaceSign,' complies with international standards for biometric data processing.
FaceSign utilizes facial recognition technology developed by Naver. It is designed to protect personal information throughout the entire process, from data collection to processing, storage, and disposal.
Notably, the service employs anti-spoofing technology, which uses an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning model to verify the authenticity of faces and prevent fraudulent attempts. Additionally, quantum-resistant encryption (PQC) technology is implemented in the data transmission segments of Naver Pay services, ensuring secure operations.
Park Sang-jin, CEO of Naver Pay, stated, "This certification acknowledges the safety of our biometric information protection system. We prioritize user protection and will continue to provide safer and more trusted services."
