ICONLOOP has deployed a blockchain DID-based access authentication system at POSCO Group's satellite offices.
Companies keep opening satellite offices to sustain the remote working that took hold through COVID-19 and to build more flexible work environments. But the model brings friction on both sides. For the company, operations get complicated when affiliates and units each run their own management systems. For employees, every building has its own access system, so you end up carrying a fistful of cards. Solving that called for one system that could manage access control across multiple offices at once.
So ICONLOOP deployed a blockchain DID-based access authentication system at With POSCO Work Station, POSCO Group's shared satellite offices in Parc.1 in Yeouido and the Geumsegi Building in Euljiro, Seoul, turning them into a smart office with integrated access control. POSCO Group employees can now verify that they work there and walk into a satellite office with nothing but their phone - no building-specific card needed - and managing and operating the system got easier too.
DID (Decentralized Identifier)
A technology built for remote environments: it provides identity verification without face-to-face contact and lets users manage their own personal data directly.
Because DID is designed for exactly that kind of remote setting, group employees prove who they are on the basis of their affiliation and other credentials before entering a building - which means they control and manage their own information.
ICONLOOP had already built a blockchain DID-based integrated identity verification system at CHANGeUP GROUND in Pohang, creating a case of DID deployed across an entire building and every company inside it. CHANGeUP GROUND is the startup space POSCO runs to nurture venture companies, and rolling the system out across the whole site strengthened technical security so resident companies can focus on developing innovative technology with confidence.

As the remote era takes hold and more companies set up remote workplaces, a trustworthy integrated management system looks less like an option and more like a requirement. ICONLOOP will keep deploying DID-based authentication systems in a range of settings so that getting into a facility - and using it - is both easier and safer.
