Samsung SDS, a subsidiary of South Korea's tech conglomerate, has developed a blockchain-based certification platform for South Korean banks, it announced Monday.

Developed in collaboration with the Korea Federation of Banks, a new platform called BankSign is said to make interactions between different banks' mobile systems seamless. Users can carry out transactions on different apps, but the system will require verification from only one app, using passwords, fingerprints or patterns for authentication, news agency Yonhap reported.

Samsung representatives said the system's security ensured by connecting banks' systems into the data-sharing network, and the certification data within this network can remain valid for up to three years.
