Cyberlinks Inc. has partnered with HANCOM Inc. to build and roll out AI based biometric authentication and identity verification services in Japan, targeting both financial institutions and enterprise use cases.
The collaboration centers around Hancom’s facial recognition solution, which includes liveness detection to filter out fake inputs and deepfakes. Cyberlinks brings its experience from working with identity infrastructure, including Public Key Infrastructure tied to My Number Cards. The plan is not just deployment, but adaptation. The service will be localized step by step to align with Japanese regulations and operational requirements.
This comes at a time when digital transformation in Japan is pushing identity verification into the spotlight. Financial services, public administration, and enterprise workflows are all moving online, but the tradeoff between security and user convenience still exists. That is the gap both companies are trying to close.

The partnership was formalized during Japan DX Week Spring 2026, where both sides outlined the longer term direction. The focus now is on eKYC for financial services, followed by expansion into administrative digitization and enterprise authentication.
Bigger picture, this is where identity systems are heading. Less manual verification, more AI driven trust layers built directly into digital infrastructure.
