SEOUL -- Raonsecure, an ICT security software company in South Korea, has secured an order to set up a trusted platform for the verification of autonomous driving using blockchain technology in Sejong, a planned city designated as a testbed for smart city solutions.

Sejong will develop a blockchain-based trusted platform for autonomous vehicles. The project involves a consortium of tech companies including LG CNS, the information technology wing of LG Group, and Unmanned Solution, a domestic autonomous shuttle maker.

"The project to build a trusted for self-driving cars based on DID (decentralized identity) certification is significant in presenting the first practical model for object certification," Raonsecure CEO Lee Soon-hyung. "In the future, we will actively target various areas that require object certification, such as smart cities and factories."

The consortium will develop a blockchain-based DID verification technology to prevent the illegal cloning of self-driving cars' identities as well as hacking. DID is a new type of encrypted identifier that normally uses public keys to establish secure communication channels. The blockchain-based DID will incorporate multiple layers of encryption to data using vehicle-to-everything communication.

The trusted platform will be based on LG CNS' Monachain, a multi-digital currency platform capable of issuing currencies for different communities from a single platform, and Raonsecure's OmniOne, a decentralized identity platform using FIDO biometric authentication and blockchain that enables users to manage securely and conveniently their personal information.

OmniOne is a key driver of the DID Alliance aimed at establishing global standards and business models. FIDO is open and scalable standards that enable simpler and more secure user authentication experiences across many websites and mobile services.

Sejong's smart city platform can support autonomous driving, grid-based energy control, artificial intelligence-based disaster control and smart farming, all linked to a 5G network.
