Exponent is doing something a little different than the other pilot winners for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. The company’s pilot has a significant hardware component to its test and will look at using different secure elements in the identity ecosystem. “We will demonstrate two form factors,” says said Brad McGoran, a principal engineer at Exponent. “One will leverage the UICC in a phone, and the other’s going to leverage a secure element that’s embedded in a wearable device, and we’ve called that wearable device a PAD – or a Personal Authentication Device.”
