Mohana Ravindranath over at NextGov wrote a nice piece about our NIST privacy pilots.
Tozny, a subsidiary of tech company Galois, aims to test one system that encrypts user data generated by the “smart home,” and another that would let transit riders use their mobile phones as tickets, Galois principal investigator Isaac Potoczny-Jones said in a blog post outlining more details about the project.
The NIST pilot, through an initiative called the “National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace,” focuses on these two applications. But NIST has recently been drafting broader standards for tech companies creating products for the “Internet of Things”: In September, it released a Draft Framework for Cyber-Physical Systems, essentially a guide teaching device manufacturers how to build safer devices.
