サイバーリンクス and RAUMSOFT set up joint venture ラウムジャパン for face-ID checks

The joint venture builds on a relationship that began in April 2026, when CyberLinks started working with HANCOM Inc. on AI biometric and identity verification for Japan's financial and enterprise markets. As part of that effort, CyberLinks worked with HANCOM group company RAUMSOFT to link its JPKI-related services with HancomAUTH, and the new company is presented as a way to carry that technical cooperation into a standing service organization in Japan.

The two sides bring different pieces. CyberLinks has been promoting trust services centered on JPKI, the public personal authentication service built on My Number Cards, while RAUMSOFT brings an AI face-recognition solution equipped with liveness detection and deepfake countermeasures. The venture's stated focus is financial institutions and local governments, with the company saying it will design services around Japan's regulatory and operational requirements as identity verification rules are reviewed and digital procedures expand.

Ownership is tilted toward the technology provider, with RAUMSOFT at 80% and CyberLinks at 20% of a company capitalized at 1,000万円. Beyond the public sector, the venture says it will study expansion into education, medical and private-sector fields.
