Andrew, being at the forefront of technological advancement, unravelled the complex prospects of biometrics and the future of decentralized identity.

Following Andrew’s keynote, Ieva Čepaite, who holds a Ph.D. in Quantum Optics and Quantum Many-body Systems delved into the realm of quantum computers. Her enlightening talk implemented a cybersecurity analyst’s perspective while also providing a brief introduction to quantum computing and the current state of quantum technologies.
