Third ITU-T X.509 Day: Challenges and Opportunities for Secure Transactions
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is organising the Third ITU-T X.509 Day on May 9th, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM CEST. This virtual event focuses on the future of ITU-T X.509, the foundational standard for secure online transactions.
ITU-T X.509 underpins secure communication and transactions across various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and government services. This year's theme, "Challenges and Opportunities for Migration of X.509 to PQC," addresses the impact of evolving technology on cybersecurity.
SEEBLOCKS.eu expert Eric Andersen participates in Session 2: Panel Discussion – Future Directions for Evolvement of ITU-T X.509 at 2:45 PM CEST. This session will explore how ITU-T X.509 can adapt to the rise of quantum computing and integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for continued security.
Participants can expect a comprehensive exploration of key areas: advancements made in ITU-T X.509 since the previous event, the potential disruptions quantum computing poses to current encryption methods, and how advancements in decentralised PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) can offer solutions.
The event will also focus on fostering collaboration among stakeholders from various sectors, including ITU member states, industry representatives, and academic institutions, will be a key emphasis to ensure continued standardisation efforts related to ITU-T X.509.
This free event is open to all interested participants, including ITU member states, sector members, associates and academic institutions, and individuals from ITU member countries. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in discussions that will shape the future of secure online transactions.
