Hi Everyone, some interesting news regarding Milagro.
First, Experian has issued a press release regarding their selection of M-Pin Authentication (which will be part of Milagro) for uk.gov websites. Story here: http://www.computerweekly.com/news/4500260479/Experian-chooses-UK-authentication-startup-for-GovUK-Verify "Experian has chosen a UK startup’s identity technology to provide highly secure authentication to millions of UK citizens." Secondly, the M-Pin Authentication Protocol has been submitted to the IETF as an informational standard jointly by MIRACL and NTT.
