Beyond the Token: Decentralized Identity for Autonomous AI Agents in the Enterprise
Cybersecurity and IAM
In 2026, the primary "users" of enterprise cloud services are no longer just people, but autonomous AI agents. Traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems struggle to handle the dynamic, multi-hop nature of agentic workflows, often leading to over-privileged service accounts or security "blind spots."
This session explores how Decentralized Identity (DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) provide a scalable solution for AI autonomy. Using a real-world case study from the autonomous DevOps ecosystem, we willdemonstratehow agents can carry their own cryptographically verifiable "reputations" and "permits," enabling zero-trust execution at machine speed without the overhead of centralized bottlenecks.

Reducing Environmental Impact in National ID Programs
Seminar A
As nations work toward greener public services, identity documents are no exception and to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Governments worldwide are increasingly adopting circular economy principles and setting ambitious net-zero emission targets. Governments are now exploring recycled polycarbonate (rPC) as a responsible way to reduce environmental impact without compromising durability or security. This session examines how sustainable materials can be integrated into national identity ecosystems—from production to end of life—while meeting strict performance and security requirements.
The focus is clear: enabling secure, reliable identity credentials while reducing the overall ecological footprint of national ID programs.

No One Is #1 at Everything: Why Biometric Orchestration Is the Future
Seminar A
With more than 600 companiessubmittingto NIST and every vendor claiming to be “best-in-class,” how do organizations confidently design a biometric system that performs today and adapts for tomorrow?
The reality: no single provider leads in every modality, use case, or threat scenario. As fraud tactics evolve, from injection attacks to AI-driven spoofing, static, single-vendor stacks create risk and rigidity.
This session explores why biometric orchestration is becoming essential infrastructure. By enabling organizations to combine best-in-class technologies, starting withlivenessand extending through matching, leaders can simplify complexity,eliminatevendor lock-in, future-proof investments, and confidently adapt to an ever-changing threat landscape.

Keynote: Proof of Humanity: Trust in an AI World
Keynotes
For decades, digital identity has focused on answering one simple question: Who are you?But the rise of AI is changing that question.Imagine a digital ecosystem where AI agents can open accounts, apply for services, negotiate contracts, and act on behalf of millions of people simultaneously. Some will be helpful assistants. Others will be designed to deceive. All will operate at a scale and speed no human could match.In this new environment, the challenge will no longer be limited to verifying documents. The real question will be: how do we prove that it is both a real and the right human behind the transaction?AI will dramatically increase both the number of non-human identities and the sophistication of attacks on identity systems, placing unprecedented pressure on how trust is established. As traditional verification methods come under strain, the ability to prove humanity will become the central battleground of digital trust.At the same time, identity will become essential to governing AI itself. As autonomous systems take on greater responsibility, critical actions will increasingly require verifiable human authorization and consent.In this keynote, Andrew Bud explores why identity is entering its most consequential era yet — and why proof of humanity will become the foundation of trust in an AI world.

Entrust Keynote: Leading Through the Identity Crisis: Designing for Trust in the Age of AI
Keynotes
As AI blurs the line between real and synthetic, trust can no longer be assumed—it must be deliberately designed. In this keynote, Tony Ball, CEO of Entrust, proposes identity security as the foundation of trust for the digital age. Drawing on global examples across banking, travel, and digital government, the keynote explores how leading institutions are embedding identity security into in every interaction—protecting organizations and the people they serve by verifying identity at key "moments of truth" in the digital experience— and in doing so, transforming identity security from a control function into a leadership imperative.

Panel: Sustainable Approach to Document Security
Secure Document World
- In today’s rapidly evolving security environment, travel documents are more advanced than ever — yet no system is immune to misuse. While governments continue investing incutting-edgetechnologies and artificial intelligence to support border checks, recent experience shows that technology alone is not enough. Some of the most sophisticated cases wereidentifiednot by machines, but by well-trained professionals.
- This interactive panel explores how sustainable document security can be achieved through a smart combination of humanexpertise, modern technology, and effective capacity building within Integrated Border Management (IBM) frameworks. Drawing on global case studies and practical experience from different regions, the session will highlight innovative approaches, lessons learned, and successful cooperation models between governmental institutions and the private sector.
- Delivered by two expert speakers and enhanced with engaging audio-visual elements, the panel willdemonstratehow strategicsynergy— not substitution — between people and technology is key to strengthening border security whilefacilitatinglegitimate travel and trade. Join us to discover how sustainable solutions can create resilient, future-proof document security systems.

Closing Identity Fraud Gaps with Visible Evidence
Secure Document World
Over the past decade, governments have transformed digital identity into unified, secure ecosystems powered by single sign-on systems, centralized platforms, blockchain, and AI. These technologies have strengthened online trust and simplified access across services and borders. Yet a paradox remains: as digital identity becomes more secure, physical identity fraud grows more valuable. Every digital journey still begins with verifying a physical document—such as a passport or ID card—making the embedded chip a critical vulnerability. Fraudsters increasingly target this weak link through tampering. To close this gap, Linxens developed HINT, ensuring any physical or electrical chip compromise is immediately detectable.

Novel applications in secure identity management and document authentication with police and border authorities’ assessments from the European EINSTEIN project
Travel, Biometrics, and Borders
We will present a review of the novel applications that were developed in the Horizon Europe project EINSTEIN and tested by police,borderand immigration authorities. The presentation includes technical advances and operational assessments. EINSTEIN is fighting identity and document fraud by delivering six interoperable applications covering the whole physical and digital identity lifecycle – from document issuance to on-the-fly identity verification: online ID issuance with real-time biometric quality checks; mobile document and identity checks using smartphones; advanced visual document authenticator; pre-registration for biometric land-border crossing; EES kiosk with advanced fraud detection; and the automatic multibiometric walk-through corridor. Developments towards high-TRL solutions have beenfacilitatedby iterative field tests and prioritization of end users, who were involved from the early designphase on.
