Organization using Hyperledger Indy and Aries for their blockchain-based digital identity system rely on traditional public-key cryptography that could be compromised by quantum algorithms. These include: 

• Digital signatures used for verifying credentials and identities 
• Encrypted communications between agents 
• Key exchange protocols that establish secure connections 
• Digital certificates that verify the authenticity of entities in the network 

The presentation will provide an overview of the preparatory governance & technology actions being taken to address PQC threats. 

This keynote presentation explores the critical role of ethical assurance in the adoption and deployment of emerging technologies like blockchain, AI, biometrics, and quantum computing. 

It delves into the challenges and opportunities these technologies present, highlighting strategies for leaders to ensure that innovation aligns with societal values and ethical standards.
