Title of the Talk:

Post Quantum Identity

Abstract:

Post-quantum cryptography introduces significant challenges to modern identity systems, particularly in web authentication and token design. This talk examines the impact of large PQC signatures on JWT-based architectures, browser constraints, and session management, and proposes a shift toward stateful, device-bound identity models for building quantum-resilient authentication systems.
