Appearances:



Day 1 @ 14:00

Identity in a post-quantum world

There is consensus that in the not-too-distant future, quantum computers will break much of the cryptography that currently secures digital data and transactions. What is still under debate is exactly when that will happen. This presentation calls for a coordinated effort to accelerate the development and deployment of post-quantum cryptographic systems to ensure the continued security of sensitive information within identity management and trusted services. In this presentation, we will discuss the potential threats to identity management posed by quantum computing and how the industry can map the path ahead, particularly with regard to implementation of quantum-safe identity credentials and protocols.

Day 1 @ 15:50

Unlocking ethical biometrics: Inclusive design, governance and trust 

Biometric technologies such as facial recognition offer transformative potential but when mishandled can lead to exclusion and privacy challenges. This presentation lays out a framework for ethical biometrics, prioritizing inclusive design, fairness, accessibility, privacy, governance, and trust, and concluding by offering actionable insights for designing and evaluating inclusive, trustworthy biometric systems.
