Raon Secure, an artificial intelligence (AI) security and authentication platform company, has secured more than 10 million users in the Japanese digital authentication market.

Raon Secure said Friday that monthly active users (MAU) of its AI-based biometric authentication platform TouchEn OnePass surpassed 10 million in Japan last month. TouchEn OnePass enables convenient and secure identity verification using biometric data such as fingerprints, facial recognition and vein patterns without passwords or separate certificates.

Raon Secure first launched TouchEn OnePass in Japan in July 2020 and has steadily expanded in the local market since then. Last year, the company signed a 3.5 billion won supply contract with SBI Sumishin Net Bank, Japan's largest internet bank, and its subsidiary Neobank Technologies, broadening its foothold. Adoption across various sectors in Japan followed, accelerating the MAU growth, the company said.

The company sees TouchEn OnePass as having entered a full-scale expansion phase in the Japanese market. Analysts at the company attribute the success to its preemptive strategy of commercializing FIDO-based authentication amid growing demand for passwordless verification and tightening security regulations in Japan. Raon Secure was the first in the world to obtain standard certification from the FIDO Alliance, a global biometric authentication consortium, and has recently built an active security environment that uses AI to instantly detect and block anomalous behavior.

Raon Secure plans to expand its digital trust infrastructure business in response to the growing importance of identity verification and access control driven by the spread of agentic AI. The company is also working to advance its authentication framework to cover both human users and AI.

"The milestone of 10 million MAU for TouchEn OnePass demonstrates that Raon Secure's technology has delivered results in a large-scale real-world environment," CEO Lee Soon-hyung said. "We will leap forward as a digital trust infrastructure company encompassing both people and AI in the global market."

Raon Secure holds a voting seat on the FIDO Alliance board alongside Google, Microsoft, Samsung Electronics, Amazon and Apple. The company is strengthening its position by contributing to international digital authentication standards discussions while building on its overseas market performance.
