YOUR NAME IN THE REGISTRATION FORM SHOULD MATCH THE ONE ON YOUR ID*** **Thank you to our sponsors Semgrep (http://www.semgrep.dev)** **Talk Title** - **Securing AI Agents with Cryptographic Identity by Chaitanya Challa** **Talk Description** \- AI agents are rapidly becoming autonomous actors across enterprise environments\, interacting with APIs\, infrastructure\, SaaS platforms\, and sensitive data\. While most AI security discussions focus on prompt injection and model risks\, far less attention is given to how these agents authenticate\, authorize\, and establish trust as non\-human identities\. This session explores the emerging field of AI Identity Security using principles from cryptographic identity\, workload authentication\, Zero Trust\, and machine identity governance\. Attendees will learn practical approaches for securing AI agents using short\-lived credentials\, certificate\-based authentication\, secrets governance\, and policy\-driven access controls in modern cloud\-native and agentic AI environments\. **About the speaker** \- Product and security leader focused on cryptographic posture management\, certificate lifecycle management\, post\-quantum cryptography readiness\, and AI identity security\. Experienced in building enterprise security platforms spanning encryption governance\, workload identity\, cryptographic agility\, and autonomous trust systems\. Former engineering leader turned product strategist with deep expertise across data security\, cloud\-native security\, and quantum\-safe modernization initiatives\.
