Full Workshop Details Executive Order 13636, Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, directed NIST to work with stakeholders to develop a voluntary framework for reducing cyber risks to critical infrastructure. Version 1.0 of the Cybersecurity Framework, released on February 12, 2014, was developed in an open manner with input from stakeholders in industry, academia, and government, including a public review and comment process, workshops, and other means of engagement. In the time since the Framework's publication, NIST's primary goals have been to raise awareness of the...

NIST hosted the second Lightweight Cryptography Workshop on October 17-18, 2016. In 2013, NIST initiated the lightweight cryptography project to study the performance of the current NIST-approved cryptographic standards on constrained devices and to understand the need for a dedicated lightweight cryptography standard, and if the need is identified, to design a transparent process for standardization. In 2015, NIST held the first Lightweight Cryptography Workshop in Gaithersburg, MD, to get public feedback on the requirements and characteristics of real-world applications of lightweight...

Knowledge based authentication (KBA) offers several advantages to traditional (conventional) forms of e-authentication like passwords, PKI and biometrics. KBA is a particularly useful tool to remotely authenticate individuals who conduct business electronically with Federal agencies or businesses infrequently. In these situations, other authentication tools such as passwords and PKI certificates can be expensive to administer for the application provider and difficult to use for the remote individual. By successfully participating in a series of KBA challenge-response queries, the identity of...
