Exponent is doing something a little different than the other pilot winners for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. The company\u2019s pilot has a significant hardware component to its test and will look at using different secure elements in the identity ecosystem. \u201cWe will demonstrate two form factors,\u201d says said Brad McGoran, a principal engineer at Exponent. \u201cOne will leverage the UICC in a phone, and the other\u2019s going to leverage a secure element that\u2019s embedded in a wearable device, and we\u2019ve called that wearable device a PAD \u2013 or a Personal Authentication Device.\u201d
