Title of the Talk :
The Next Generation of PKI: Secure Identity in an AI and Quantum Future

Abstract of the Talk:
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has long served as the backbone of digital trust, securing identities, communications, and transactions across the internet. However, the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the approaching reality of quantum computing are challenging the assumptions on which traditional PKI was built. From AI-driven automation and machine identities to quantum algorithms capable of breaking current cryptographic standards, the threat landscape is shifting fast.

This keynote explores the urgent need to modernize PKI to remain relevant and resilient in the face of these evolving challenges. We will examine how organizations can adapt PKI to support machine learning workflows, secure autonomous agents, and transition to post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. Attendees will gain insights into the architectural, operational, and cryptographic changes required to protect the future of digital identity and trust.
