KISA under the Ministry of Science and ICT adopts Metadium in demonstration project

Metadium (META) announced on the 14th that its decentralized identity verification (DID) technology has been applied to the 'K-BTF (Korea Blockchain Trust Framework) demonstration project' led by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). This project is a government task to verify the feasibility of introducing blockchain-based trust infrastructure in the public sector.

According to Metadium, in the 2025 K-BTF demonstration project, CPLABS will be responsible for building the DID platform, and Metadium was chosen as the underlying blockchain technology. The project is structured as a full-cycle framework that includes the design, implementation, and security certification of a cloud-based DID service.

CPLABS implemented user identity issuance, authentication, and verification functions using Metadium DID, and has now entered the main review process for the Public Cloud Security Assurance Program (CSAP). CSAP certification is a core requirement for providing SaaS services to public institutions, and through this demonstration, Metadium DID will be validated for both technical performance and policy standards.

Metadium said, "This project is a case that proves the practicality of a DID infrastructure that can be linked with actual administrative systems beyond a simple technical demonstration," adding, "Through this demonstration, a foundation has been laid for the public market entry of DID technology, which has developed mainly in the private sector."

KISA plans to verify DID application models in public cloud environments through this K-BTF project and expand them in the future to administrative services, authentication, and point-based linked services. CSAP certification results and specific application cases will be disclosed later through Metadium's official channels.
