Publications

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)
NISTIR	NIST Internal or Interagency Reports Reports of research findings, including background information for FIPS and SPs.
ITL Bulletin	NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Bulletins 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. Many of these publications (in this database) were published in 2008 or later, but older publications will be added in the future.

See NIST Publications for additional Cybersecurity Publications. See our DOI page for information on Digital Object Identifiers.
