Quantum risk is no longer a distant technical concern. This briefing explains how cryptographic obsolescence threatens identity systems, digital certificates, vendors, authentication, and governance before Q-Day arrives. It reframes quantum readiness as a board-level obligation and gives leaders five urgent questions to ask by Monday morning.

As quantum computing advances, the cryptographic foundations of digital identity systems face unprecedented threats. This talk explores the intersection of identity management and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), highlighting the urgent need to transition from classical cryptographic primitives to quantum-resistant alternatives. We will examine the implications for authentication, credential issuance, various identity related standard protocols and decentralized identity frameworks, and provide practical guidance for architects and security professionals preparing for the post-quantum era.
