Abstract

As applications grow in complexity, developers often face the challenge of balancing security, user privacy, and scalability—all while managing complex infrastructure. In this talk, we’ll explore how to solve these common challenges by leveraging Internet Identity for seamless user authentication, non-custodial wallets secured by chain key cryptography, and hosting tamperproof frontends on-chain. These capabilities are made possible by the Internet Computer, which provides a decentralized platform designed to simplify full-stack development while enhancing security and privacy. During the presentation, you'll also experience firsthand how easy it is to create secure, scalable applications with no infrastructure headaches.
