NIST develops and maintains an extensive collection of standards, guidelines, recommendations, and research on the security and privacy of information and information systems. This includes various NIST technical publication series:

FIPS	Federal Information Processing Standards: Security standards. `Learn more`
SP	NIST Special Publications Guidelines, technical specifications, recommendations and reference materials, comprising multiple sub-series: SP 800 Computer security `Learn more` SP 1800 Cybersecurity practice guides `Learn more` SP 500 Information technology (relevant documents)
IR (NISTIR)	NIST Internal or Interagency Reports Reports of research findings, including background information for FIPS and SPs.
CSWP	NIST Cybersecurity White Papers General white papers, thought pieces, and official cybersecurity- and privacy-related papers not published as a FIPS, SP, or IR.
ITL Bulletin	NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Bulletins (1990-2020) Monthly overviews of NIST's security and privacy publications, programs and projects.

Find more of our research in: White Papers, Journal Articles, Conference Papers, and Books. More of these publications from before 2008 will be added to this database.

Inclusive language. We recognize that some NIST publications contain potentially biased terminology. As we revise publications, we are reviewing and editing that language based on NIST’s inclusive language guidance. New publications in development will also follow that guidance.

See NIST Publications for additional Cybersecurity Publications.
