A Superior Alternative to OAuth for Building AI Agents and Modern Applications [Advanced]
11:00—11:20
Watch the video
Modern AI applications—such as real-time copilots, autonomous agents, and interactive platforms—demand authentication and authorization methods that exceed the capabilities of traditional OAuth 2.0 and OIDC frameworks. These established standards, designed for predictable request-response interactions, struggle with dynamic token management, continuous monitoring, and proactive threat detection. As a result, they fall short when applied to environments where users, data, and permissions change rapidly.
This session introduces RealTimeAuth (RTA), a next-generation authentication and authorization protocol purpose-built for modern AI-driven and real-time applications. RTA improves on OAuth 2.0 and OIDC by introducing specialized grant types tailored to AI agents, advanced encryption that surpasses standard OAuth practices, and integrated multi-factor authentication to ensure layered security. Attendees will learn how RTA leverages AI-powered anomaly detection, nonce-based replay protection, and signed messages to maintain data integrity and thwart evolving threats. Additionally, RTA’s continuous access evaluation, dynamic token rotation, and support for server callbacks enable immediate responses to compromised credentials and updated security policies.
By examining RTA’s architecture and features, this session will illustrate how it delivers a more resilient, flexible, and secure framework—one that aligns seamlessly with the speed and complexity of today’s AI-driven, real-time applications.
Verified Trust: A New Paradigm to Address Evolving Identity Challenges in the AI-Driven World [Intermediate]
11:20—11:40
Watch the video
As artificial intelligence reshapes our digital ecosystem, securing trust has never been more critical. The ability to authenticate and authorize users—who can now be mimicked, manipulated by AI, or represented as legitimate AI agents—requires a paradigm shift. This session introduces Verified Trust, a transformative approach that integrates identity verification, authentication, authorization, device trust, and identity fraud protection to establish, maintain, and recover trust for both human and non-human entities.
We’ll explore:
- The unique challenges posed by AI, including deepfakes, fraud, and the emergence of AI agents disrupting traditional authentication and authorization frameworks.
- How modern identity technologies—such as identity graphs, adaptive authentication, and fraud prevention tools—can be leveraged to securely establish and scale trust.
- The role of emerging standards, compliance frameworks (like the AI Act), and advanced technologies in building future-proof solutions for AI identity management.
Attendees will gain actionable insights and real-world strategies to ensure the security and accountability of AI-driven interactions, enabling their organizations to embrace AI innovations confidently without compromising trust.
Identity Challenges in the Agentic Era [Intermediate]
11:40—12:00
Watch the video
While the adoption of AI agents and systems continues to skyrocket, only two-fifths of AI projects go into production. Organizations now face a few key questions: how can they enable agentic adoption without introducing new security risks? How can they ensure developers' lives don't get harder in the quest for AI adoption?
Join this session to learn:
- Why authentication and access control are critical to secure AI adoption
- How protocols like OAuth and MCP will play a key role in this future
- Identity tips and best practices while building apps / agents
