​​​​​Fifth ITU-T X.509 Day​

Geneva, Switzerland, 12 May 2026

Contact: tsbevents@itu.int

​09:00 - 09:40Opening Remarks

Master Ceremony: Xiaoya Yang​, Counsellor, ITU-T Study Group 17
​09:40 - 10:10
Keynote: Towards decentralized PKI
Decentralized PKI (DPKI) is a security framework that enables the management and verification of digital identities and cryptographic keys without relying on a centralized authority, enhancing trust, privacy, and resilience. This keynote will provide a high-level overview of decentralized PKI, including its underlying technology, how it operates, its key characteristics and benefits, and will outline the roadmap for its standardization.
​10:10 - 11:30
​Session 1: Emerging topics on DPKI
The session will cover thematic presentations on DPKI applications, PQC migration, and related topics.

Moderator: Stiepan Aurélien KovacQRC Eurosmart
11:30 - 11:45Coffee Break
11:45 - 12:30
​Session 2: ITU-T X.509 adoption / implementation cases in an AI world 
This session will explore the cases for adoption and implementation of ITU-T X.509 across industries and regions, highlighting applications in agentic AI, smart grids, banking, healthcare, automotive, and identity wallets, and its integration with PKI and decentralized identity (verifiable data registries) to support trust frameworks for AI agents.

Moderator: HeungYoul Youm, SCH University
12:30 - 14:30
​Lunch Break 
14:30 - 15:50
Session 3: Quantum- and AI/ML-proofing mobile networks using PKI and tailored solutions
This session will explore how mobile networks can be designed to be quantum-proof and AI/ML-resilient, including potential threats arising from the use of agentic AI in combination with quantum computers, with a focus on addressing the security, privacy, IAM, and trust aspects of mobile networks based on PKI and solutions tailored for constrained devices.

Moderator: HeungYoul Youm, SCH University​​
