Barun Information Technology, a company specializing in AI and data-based public solutions, will supply its Zero PASS access management system to the AI Industry Convergence Business Group (AICA) located in Nam-gu, Gwangju.
AICA operates the national AI data center and AI demonstration center, making visitor identity verification and access control crucial. The introduction of this system aims to transition the existing access management framework to a digital format.
Zero PASS is a system that verifies visitor identities and issues access passes based on mobile identity verification. It supports QR-based real-name authentication linked with major private certification services, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's mobile ID, as well as Naver, Kakao, and PASS.
As a result, visitors can complete identity verification and access pass issuance procedures in a non-contact manner, eliminating the need for paper visitor logs or physical ID presentation. Administrators can monitor access status in real-time, and access records are designed to be encrypted and automatically deleted after a certain period.
According to Barun Information Technology, Zero PASS has obtained CSAP SaaS security certification in the access security kiosk sector. The company plans to expand its business, focusing on public institutions and facilities with high security requirements.
Accessibility has also been enhanced. The system incorporates voice guidance and interfaces that meet barrier-free (BF) certification standards, making it usable for the elderly and information-vulnerable groups.
With this implementation, AICA will replace the traditional method of recording names and contact information in paper visitor logs and verifying physical IDs with a digital access management system. The previous paper logs had been criticized for potential personal information exposure and limitations in managing access history.
Kim Sang-in, CEO of Barun Information Technology, stated, "The choice of Zero PASS by AICA, which operates the largest national AI data center, signifies that we have achieved both security and usability, recognized at the highest security standards. As an AI and data-based company responsible for the access security of a national AI hub, we aim to end the limitations of decades-old paper visitor logs and set a new standard for public access security."
Barun Information Technology has developed and supplied the School PASS access management system for schools and Zero PASS for public institutions. School PASS has received the Grand Prize in the school access security category at the 2025 Korea Leading Company Awards and an Excellence Award in the educational environment construction and administrative management innovation category at the 2025 K-Edutech Contest. It has also been certified as a priority purchase intelligent information product by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
Zero PASS was previously installed at the Gimpo City Hall Urban Safety Information Center, and Barun Information Technology plans to expand its supply to central government agencies, quasi-government agencies, and public buildings following this AICA supply.
