A talk about using browser crypto api to replace authentication providers

[utilitydelta]

Presenter Name: Tyson Brown Talk title: Building a Transparent, Zero Friction User Auth System: JavaScript Meets Asymmetric Cryptography Talk length: 20 min Talk description: In this talk we'll explore a fresh take on authentication that keeps things simple and seamless for users. Imagine accessing a service without the need for a password, hardware token, or even a signup process—just a secure, automatic way to verify identity. This approach helps solve a common problem: losing users at the signup stage because they don't want to go through the hassle. We'll discuss how this method can enhance security while making the user experience frictionless. Plus, we'll touch on how this concept relates to WebAuthn and where it fits into the broader landscape of authentication options. If you're interested in reducing barriers for users without compromising security, this talk is for you!
