On the 16th, the security corporation Raonsecure announced that it is pushing to expand the public digital wallet system established in Costa Rica last year into the private sector, including universities, associations, and educational institutions.
This project is part of the '2025 Korea-Costa Rica Digital Government Cooperation Center Joint Cooperation Project' of the National Information Society Agency (NIA).
In this project, Raonsecure plans to support the secure issuance and storage of the digital wallet system connected to the educational certificates of Costa Rica's 'Smart Community Center (CECI)' and the qualification certificates of the 'Association of Architectural Engineers (CFIA)'.
It will also apply 'OmniOne Open Decentralized Identifier (DID)' technology to the National University of Costa Rica, the Technological Institute of Costa Rica (TEC), to establish a digital ID system. 'OmniOne Open DID' is the open-source version of Raonsecure's blockchain-based digital identity and qualification certification integration platform, 'OmniOne Digital ID', and through this establishment, it plans to offer key academic services such as student ID cards, transcripts, and course completion certificates via a mobile app.
Lee Soon-hyung, CEO of Raonsecure, said, 'I expect the spread of blockchain-based digital IDs in Costa Rica to accelerate through this project,' adding, 'Raonsecure will lead the global spread of digital IDs based on open-source-based Open DID technology and drive innovation in digital identity certification and qualification verification across various countries.'
