# YubiNation 2026: Coming together to shape the future of digital trust > Source: > Published: 2026-11-03 16:30:00+00:00 Today marks an important milestone for Yubico as we kick off [YubiNation](https://yubinationsummit.cventevents.com/event/b6ac0726-76b3-4346-a8ae-703d011a0e8c/summary), our inaugural user conference. We’re bringing together customers, partners, and industry leaders to secure digital identities as AI and quantum computing reshape our world. Building a more secure digital future will take all of us working together.  At YubiNation, Yubico Chief Product and Technology Officer Albert Biketi will preview our work to advance post-quantum cryptography and expand services that secure the identity lifecycle at scale, helping organizations prepare for evolving threats. The innovations we’re advancing reflect a fundamental belief: securing digital identity must extend beyond authentication. Trust must be established, and maintained throughout the entire identity lifecycle. And because these challenges extend far beyond those gathered at YubiNation, I want to share how we’re preparing organizations for what comes next. AI is making phishing and social engineering more sophisticated, exposing the limits of traditional MFA. Advances in quantum computing are also accelerating the need to prepare for a future when today’s public-key cryptography is not adequate. Both challenges raise the same question: **Can you verify who or what you trust and keep that digital identity resilient as cyber threats evolve?**  ## Extending trust beyond the login For nearly two decades, Yubico has advanced phishing-resistant authentication. Now we’re extending that foundation with identity lifecycle services and introducing the next generation of YubiKeys with post quantum cryptography built on open standards as we prepare for the future. Here’s how we’re putting that vision into action. - **Trusted identity at scale: YubiID (Limited Early Access).** YubiID extends trusted identity across enrollment, credential issuance, authentication, and recovery, including building towards securing digital wallets and AI workflows. The goal is simple: a person known to the enterprise stays known – securely – as everything around them changes. We’re working with a select group of enterprise customers and partners to help shape the future of trusted identity. If you are interested in becoming a YubiID Design Partner,[**apply to participate**](https://www.yubico.com/yubiid-design-partner-program) . - **The next-generation, PQC-ready YubiKey (Beta)** . We’re building crypto-agile hardware for post-quantum security, so customers can adopt new standards without replacing their identity investments. A hardware root of trust can significantly keep private keys safer from software-based attacks. We are launching a Public Beta program to engage with our customers to evaluate product readiness for our PQC-ready YubiKey. If you are interested in testing the new key and actively providing feedback on your use cases,[**apply to participate in the program**](https://www.yubico.com/pqc-beta-program) . We’ll share more in the coming months, and we’re excited to keep working with innovators to solve their toughest security challenges. ## Paving a path forward in a new landscape We created YubiNation around a simple belief: It takes an entire ecosystem to build **the next era of digital trust.** YubiNation brings our community together to share real-world lessons, challenge assumptions, and accelerate the adoption of identity security. As AI changes how we work and quantum computing changes how we prepare, trust remains the foundation. Every day, our customers and partners protect digital identities in some of the world’s most demanding environments, from human rights defenders to critical infrastructure to the frontiers of AI. For nearly two decades, their experience has shaped Yubico’s innovations. As we look to the future, together, we can create a world where we can protect digital identities for everyone. *Stay tuned for customer and partner sessions to be available on* *Yubico.com*
