Research Shaping the Future

Creating the Digital Trust Infrastructure of the Future
Next-Generation Technologies of GMO GlobalSign HD

We invest ahead of the curve in growth fields such as PQC, countering fake content, 3D/AR/VR, and next-generation identity, aiming to be a "trusted infrastructure company" that supports the digital society of the future. Leveraging our indispensability as social infrastructure, strong synergies with our existing businesses, and the potential for sustainable earnings growth, we will achieve enhanced corporate value over the medium to long term.

Preparing for the Quantum Era – PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography)

Public-key cryptography widely used today, such as RSA and ECC, is exposed to the risk of being broken by quantum computers.
Anticipating this challenge, we are accelerating our preparations to migrate to PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography). Through the validation of compliant algorithms and the issuance of test certificates, we are building a robust security foundation adapted to the quantum era. In doing so, we aim to capture new market opportunities and contribute to the social infrastructure of the future.

Initiatives

  • Validation of compliant algorithms
  • Issuance of test certificates
  • Building the operational foundation
  • Establishing leadership in security infrastructure for the quantum era

Protecting the Authenticity of Information – Countering Fake Content

As AI-generation technology advances, fake videos and images have become a social issue.
In collaboration with international standardization bodies such as C2PA, we are contributing to the development of frameworks for content tampering detection and authenticity verification. Leveraging our trust foundation as a certification authority, we are taking on the challenge of building a global ecosystem for the trustworthy distribution of information, playing a central role in this rapidly growing market.

Initiatives

  • Implementation of content tampering detection technology
  • Contribution to the development of authenticity verification frameworks
  • Building a global ecosystem for the trustworthy distribution of information

Adapting to Next-Generation Interfaces – 3D/AR/VR

AI is accelerating the generation of 3D objects, making the use of digital twins increasingly realistic.
User interfaces are also evolving from text-centric to real-world-oriented ones that leverage voice and AR/VR.
We position these trends as a pillar of our business growth, exploring new forms of "authentication" for the AR/VR era through the fusion with next-generation identity technologies.

Initiatives

  • Research and implementation of AI-driven 3D object generation
  • Implementation of AR/VR and Web integration
  • Research and implementation of 3D simulation technology

The Evolving Trust of the Internet – Next-Generation Identity

As the internet ecosystem transforms, new forms of identity verification that go beyond conventional certificates are in demand. We are actively investing in research and development of standardization trends and implementation technologies for next-generation identity. We are strengthening our position as a Global Endpoint ID Provider that delivers "trust" to every device, service, individual, and organization, supporting the digital society of the future.

Initiatives

  • Implementation of decentralized identity (DID) using Verifiable Credentials
  • Delivering seamless trust across all devices and services
  • Strengthening our position as a Global Endpoint ID Provider
