CSC Standards in Practice: Success Stories & Roadblocks

This implementation-focused deep dive showcases real-world deployments of CSC standards in LATAM, the US and Europe — what worked, where projects stalled, and how to overcome legal, technical and organisational barriers. Case studies from public administrations and private sector deployments illustrate how CSC-compliant remote signatures can coexist with existing PKI schemes, integrate with identity systems, and reduce fraud and friction in high-risk transactions. The discussion surfaces practical patterns and moves for regulators and implementers planning their own CSC-aligned rollouts.

Future-Proofing Digital Signatures and Digital IDs for 2030 and Beyond

These vision talks outline the long-term trajectory for signatures and digital identities
under pressure from quantum threats, AI, and increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
Speakers will explore how to maintain trust, legal certainty, and usability as cryptographic
primitives evolve, cross-border trade accelerates, and users expect seamless, privacy-preserving digital journeys. The session will frame the day's tracks by asking what "future-proof" means in practice for governments, TSPs, critical infrastructures, and global platforms.

10:30 AM – 11:45 PM — Track A (Parallel)

Future-Proofing Digital Signatures and Digital IDs

Curated by Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá), this session focuses on practical readiness for the post-quantum transition in digital identity and signature systems. Speakers discuss how to select and deploy post-quantum cryptographic algorithms for identity management and high-performance use cases, and what their real-world operational impacts are. The session also addresses crypto-agility, long-term key and lifecycle management, and alignment with emerging standards such as NIST PQC. It will help participants identify which assets, data and processes require long-term protection, supporting informed prioritisation in the face of harvest-now-decrypt-later risks.

Moving Forward on Interoperability and Cross-Border Collaboration → Bilateral Recognition

Track B focuses on how regulators, standards bodies, international organisations and industry thought leaders can accelerate cross-border interoperability for signatures, identities and trust services between LATAM and the EU. The session brings a LATAM voice into dialogue with European standards, cybersecurity and vendor perspectives — discussing practical models for mutual recognition and supervisory cooperation, and examining how ETSI, CSC and other standards — backed by the industry collaboration CSC convenes — can serve as a common language between jurisdictions.

Regulator PKI Track (Closed-Door Session)

A confidential, closed-door session bringing together regulators, accreditation bodies, and selected international stakeholders to discuss supervisory, enforcement, and PKI governance challenges that cannot be addressed in open forums.

Topics may include incident response coordination, approaches, audit and accreditation practices, post-quantum transition planning, and approaches to cross-border recognition of digital certificates while managing systemic risk.

The session is designed to encourage frank, practical exchanges between public authorities and key ecosystem actors, supporting peer learning and fostering greater alignment toward operational interoperability across regions.

Participation is limited to invited participants to ensure a focused and high-level discussion environment.
