Abstract: Space is a newly emerging commercial critical infrastructure sector that is no longer the domain of only national government authorities. Space is an inherently risky environment in which to operate, so cybersecurity risks involving commercial space – including those affecting commercial satellite v...

Abstract: Space operations are increasingly important to the national and economic security of the United States. Commercial space’s contribution to the critical infrastructure is growing in both volume and diversity of services as illustrated by the increased use of commercial communications satellite (COMSA...

Abstract: The objective of this Cybersecurity Profile is to identify an approach to assess the cybersecurity posture of Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN) systems that provide services such as satellite-based systems for communications, position, navigation, and timing (PNT), remote sensing, weather monitoring,...

Abstract: This bulletin summarizes the information presented in FIPS 202. The publication specifies the Secure Hash Algorithm-3 (SHA-3) family of functions on binary data. Each of the SHA-3 functions is based on an instance of the KECCAK algorithm that NIST selected as the winner of the SHA-3 Cryptographic Ha...

Journal: The Next Wave - The National Security Agency's Review of Emerging Technologies Abstract: In December 2011, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released the Trustworthy Cyberspace: Strategic Plan for the Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Program —a framework for a set of coordinated Federal strategic priorities and objectives for cybersecurity rese...

Abstract: This bulletin summarizes the information disseminated in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-124, Guidelines on Cell Phone and PDA Security: Recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which was written by Wayne Jansen and Karen Scarfone of NIST, and issued in October 2008....

Abstract: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working to improve the IT security of networked digital control systems used in industrial applications. This effort is being carried out through the Process Control Security Requirements Forum (PCSRF), an industry group organized under th...

Abstract: This paper presents a framework for evaluating conformance of a protocol implementation to the Security Protocol at layer 4 (SP4) standard. SP4 is one element of the Secure Data Network System (SDNS) architecture, used to provide security services at the Transport layer of the Open System Interconne...

This week, NIST released Special Publication 800-229, Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Cybersecurity and Privacy Annual Report.

Space operations are vital to advancing the security, economic prosperity, and scientific knowledge of the Nation.

This week, NIST released the newly redesigned and streamlined Special Publication 800-225, Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Cybersecurity and Privacy Annual Report.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) invites you to share your feedback on the preliminary draft of NIST Special Publication 1800-37 Volume A, Addressing Visibility Challenges with TLS 1.3.

NIST recognizes the importance of the infrastructure that provides positioning, timing, and navigation (PNT) information to the scientific knowledge, economy, and security of the Nation. This infrastructure consists of three parts: the space segment, the ground segment, and the users of PNT.

NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-220, 2021 Cybersecurity and Privacy Program Annual Report, was recently published...
