Device-Rooted Trust
Symbolic Computing is developing a suite of patents that define the substrate of digital trust.
This framework moves beyond passwords, tokens, and certificates, introducing a consistent device-based approach to authentication across all domains.
Our current work focuses on authentication in:
- Networks (Wi-Fi and enterprise access)
- Peer-to-peer connections (Bluetooth, NFC, UWB)
- IoT devices (consumer and industrial)
- Physical access (cars, homes, enterprises, hospitality)
- Web services (online interactions between users and platforms)
- Accounts (identity management for consumers and enterprises)
- Transactions (purchases, subscriptions, and fulfillment)
- Service-to-service (trust between backend systems and APIs)
Patents
Together, these eight patents define a single, coherent substrate for authentication, rooted in the device, mediated by the operating system, and extensible across domains.
