Omkhar Arasaratnam, General Manager Open SSF

This Keynote explores the critical role of open source security and the initiatives of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF). As open source software becomes increasingly integral to global technology infrastructure, ensuring its security is paramount. The talk will cover the unique challenges open source projects face, such as widespread usage and diverse contributor bases, and how OpenSSF addresses these through collaborative efforts, best practices, and innovative tools. Attendees will gain insights into current open source security trends, the importance of community involvement, and practical steps to enhance the security of open source software in their own projects.

Tomas Gustavsson, Chief PKI Officer | David Hook, VP Software Engineering Bouncy Castle

This presentation shares the latest updates from renowned authorities such as NIST, BSI, IETF, and X.9. What is new regarding standardizations and other insights and guidelines for navigating the quantum landscape?

We will also explore the landscape of cryptographic protocols, formats, and standards that require adjustment to withstand the quantum onslaught, from TLS and CMS to other crucial cryptographic protocols.

Take a break and recharge with a complimentary coffee break. This is the perfect opportunity to network with peers, exchange ideas, and build connections in a relaxed atmosphere. Use this time to expand your professional network and share insights from the morning sessions.

Tomas Gustavsson, Chief PKI Officer | David Hook, VP Software Engineering Bouncy Castle

This talk will cover hybrid cryptography within the context of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), exploring the rationale behind hybrid systems and their role in ensuring interoperability during migration and enhancing security against quantum threats.

We will discuss hybrid PKI, covering different suggested standards, their pros and cons, and contexts of use. Additionally, we will explore various PKI migration paths, offering strategies for different organizational needs. Organizations must navigate the quantum horizon with consideration of their unique circumstances.

Andreas Philipp, Senior Business Development Manager, IoT | Florian Handke, Smart Production Engineer Campus Schwarzwald

This presentation explores collaborative efforts in the IoT ecosystem, highlighting partner use cases: Espressif Secure Boot v2, Mender Secure OTA with SignServer, and an Industrial Cybersecurity integrations with OPC-UA and EJBCA. We demonstrate deploying these solutions to fortify IoT infrastructures against security threats, emphasizing crypto agility and software supply chain security.

Ensuring the integrity and security of the software supply chain is crucial. This talk explores industry-standard practices like in-toto, SLSA, SBOMs, and SigStore Cosign, and their application to software development and distribution. We will also discuss leveraging the open-source signing software SignServer to fortify the software delivery process.

Tomas Gustavsson, Chief PKI Officer

We discuss the outcomes of our interoperability testing between PQC PKI/EJBCA and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).

HSMs are foundational for building a production-ready PKI.

Sven Rajala, International PKI Man of Mystery – PKI SME | Christofer Vikström, KTH Master Thesis Student | Jose Ignacio Paris, Founding Engineer – Chainloop

Join our interactive workshop to learn the implementation of industry-standard practices like in-toto and Cosign with SignServer. Through practical examples, gain insights into fortifying software delivery against tampering and supply chain attacks. By the end, attendees will have the knowledge and tools to enhance the security and integrity of their software supply chains.

Tomas Gustavsson, Chief PKI Officer | David Hook, VP Software Engineering Bouncy Castle

Join us for an interactive workshop. We will delve into the practical aspects of building hybrid PKIs and seamlessly integrating quantum-safe cryptography into TLS.

The attendees will learn step-by-step procedures for setting up hybrid PKIs capable of issuing both classic and post-quantum certificates. We will then demonstrate interoperability with the OQS provider for OpenSSL3 and Bouncy Castle.

Take a well-deserved afternoon break. This is an excellent opportunity to network with peers and discuss the day’s sessions. Additionally, revisit our demonstrators to explore the practical applications of PKI and digital signing. Engage with our experts to gain deeper insights into integrating EJBCA and SignServer, and continue building valuable professional connections.
