Abstract: Cost becomes an early concern in applying privacy safeguards to any computerized record-keeping system. To determine privacy cost impact one requires a concrete and rigorous approach that permits repeated analysis of carefully documented assumptions. Such a methodology appears in the work reported i...

Abstract: In 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the selection of the Ascon family of algorithms designed by Dobraunig, Eichlseder, Mendel, and Schlaffer to provide efficient cryptographic solutions for resource-constrained devices. This decision emerged from a rigorous,...

Abstract: FIPS 201 defines the requirements and characteristics of government-wide interoperable identity credentials. It specifies that these identity credentials must be stored on a smart card and that additional common identity credentials, known as derived PIV credentials, may be issued by a federal depar...

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: Patching is the act of applying a change to installed software – such as firmware, operating systems, or applications – that corrects security or functionality problems or adds new capabilities. Despite widespread recognition that patching is effective and attackers regularly exploit unpatched softw...

Abstract: This publication describes the voluntary NIST Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy through Enterprise Risk Management (Version 1.0). The Privacy Framework is a tool developed in collaboration with stakeholders intended to help organizations identify and manage privacy risk to build innova...

Abstract: Monitoring the “physics” of control systems to detect attacks is a growing area of research. In its basic form a security monitor creates time-series models of sensor readings for an industrial control system and identifies anomalies in these measurements in order to identify potentially false contr...

Abstract: Malware, also known as malicious code, refers to a program that is covertly inserted into another program with the intent to destroy data, run destructive or intrusive programs, or otherwise compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the victim’s data, applications, or operating s...

Abstract: Title III of the E-Government Act, titled the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, tasked NIST to develop (1) standards to be used by all Federal agencies to categorize information and information systems collected or maintained by or on behalf of each agency based on the obj...

Abstract: The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 is a tool to help organizations manage risk in their operations. The CSF can also be used to develop a profile for communities that have similar risks in their operations. These community profiles can help individual members adapt the CSF to their own inter...

Abstract:

Abstract: The first draft of the Federal Criteria was made public in January 1993. Several thousand copies of the Federal Criteria were distributed and comments on this first draft were received between January and April of 1993. Over 20,000 comments were obtained from approximately 120 organizations. These o...

Abstract: In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) co-sponsored ConnectCon, an interactive workshop that facilitated meaningful conversations and connections between researchers and practitioners on the topic of human-centered cybersecurity. During the work...

Abstract: With the continuing frequency, intensity, and adverse consequences of cyber-attacks, disruptions, hazards, and other threats to federal, state, and local governments, the military, businesses, and the critical infrastructure, the need for trustworthy secure systems has never been more important to t...

Abstract: The United States has embarked on a major transformation of its electric power infrastructure. This vast infrastructure upgrade--extending from homes and businesses to fossil-fuel-powered generating plants and wind farms--is central to national efforts to increase energy efficiency, reliability, and...

The Initial Public Draft for SP 1326, NIST Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management: Due Diligence Assessment Quick-Start Guide; is available for public comment. The public comment period is open through December 16, 2024.

Abstract: A cloud workload is an abstraction of the actual instance of a functional application that is virtualized or containerized to include compute, storage, and network resources. Organizations need to be able to monitor, track, apply, and enforce their security and privacy policies on their cloud worklo...

Abstract: Today’s manufacturing organizations rely on industrial control systems (ICS) to conduct their operations. Increasingly, ICS are facing more frequent, sophisticated cyber attacks—making manufacturing the second-most-targeted industry. Cyber attacks against ICS threaten operations and worker safety, r...

Abstract: Few software development life cycle (SDLC) models explicitly address software security in detail, so secure software development practices usually need to be added to each SDLC model to ensure that the software being developed is well-secured. This document recommends the Secure Software Development...

Abstract: The purpose of this document is to leverage the strength of technical knowledge provided by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Numbering Authorities (CNAs) and the application of consistent and unbiased CVE record metadata provided by the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) analysts th...
