Abstract: This white paper is part of a series called Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities, which covers 5G cybersecurity- and privacy-supporting capabilities that were implemented as part of the 5G Cybersecurity project at the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE). This...

Abstract: This white paper provides an overview of “no Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) based paging,” a 5G capability for protecting users from being identified and located by an attacker. Unlike previous generations of cellular systems, new requirements in 5G standards protect...

Abstract: This white paper describes the network infrastructure design principles that commercial and private 5G network operators can use to improve cybersecurity and privacy. Such a network infrastructure isolates types of 5G network traffic from each other: data plane, control plane, and operatio...

Abstract: The Domain Name System (DNS) is an integral part of any enterprise network architecture. An attack against the DNS infrastructure of an enterprise threatens every network operation in that enterprise. DNS operations are composed of different roles that each have their own set of security considerati...

Abstract: Mobile Driver’s Licenses, and Verifiable Digital Credentials more broadly, represent an emerging technology with the capability to enhance the methods we use to prove identity both in-person and online. Many sectors stand to benefit from this emerging technology, including financial institutio...

Abstract: The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) validates third-party assertions that cryptographic module implementations satisfy the requirements of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 140-3, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. The NIST National Cybersecurit...

Abstract: Modern enterprise IT systems rely on a family of application programming interfaces (APIs) for integration to support organizational business processes. Hence, a secure deployment of APIs is critical for overall enterprise security. This, in turn, requires the identification of risk factors or vulne...

Abstract: This guide demonstrates how organizations can discover, identify and label unstructured data using data classification practices. Performing Data Classification Practices allows an organization to know its data and apply technologies that minimize the risk of valuable or sensitive data being lost or...

Journal: IEEE Security & Privacy Abstract: Ten years ago, we introduced a research program applying high strength combinatorial test methods to vulnerability and fault detection for cybersecurity. This article discusses advances in the field and where these methods may be effective for today’s complex security problems.

Abstract:

Abstract: The viability of automated driving is heavily dependent on the performance of perception systems to provide real-time accurate and reliable information for robust decision-making and maneuvers. These systems must perform reliably not only under ideal conditions, but also when challenged by natural a...

Abstract: This report studies the cryptographic random number generation standards and guidelines written by BSI and NIST, namely AIS 20/31 and the SP 800‐90 series. The aim of this report is to compare these publications, focusing on the similarities and differences of their terminol‐ogy, assumptions, and re...

Abstract: This is the NIST Threshold Call, calling for public submissions of multi-party threshold schemes, and other related crypto-systems, to support the United States' National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in gathering a public body of reference materials on advanced cryptography. In a thr...

Conference: Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC 2025) Abstract: HPPC is a multivariate signature scheme submitted to the NIST PQC standardization process in response to the recent call for additional signature schemes. We show that, despite some non-standard notational choices in the submission document, HPPC can be viewed as a special case of the well-studied,...

Abstract: Cryptographic (crypto) agility refers to the capabilities needed to replace and adapt cryptographic algorithms in protocols, applications, software, hardware, firmware, and infrastructures while preserving security and ongoing operations. This white paper provides an in-depth survey of current appro...

Abstract: This document is the third in a series that supplements NIST Interagency Report (IR) 8286, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This series provides additional details regarding enterprise application of cybersecurity risk information; the previous documents, IRs 8286A and...

Abstract: The increasing frequency, creativity, and severity of cybersecurity attacks means that all enterprises should ensure that cybersecurity risk is receiving appropriate attention within their enterprise risk management (ERM) programs. This document is intended to help individual organizations within an...

Abstract: This document supplements NIST Interagency Report (IR) 8286, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), by providing additional detail regarding risk guidance, identification, and analysis. This report offers examples and information to illustrate risk tolerance, risk appetite,...

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: In-patient service demands have increased during a time when patients have experienced reduced access to hospital care. Hospital-at-Home (HaH) solutions are a form of telehealth that provide an in-patient care experience in patients’ homes, offering the potential for improved outcomes. While t...

Abstract: The Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Profile (“Cyber AI Profile” or “The Profile”) will provide guidelines for managing cybersecurity risk related to AI systems as well as identifying opportunities for using AI to enhance cybersecurity capabili...

Abstract: This recommendation provides cryptographic key-management guidelines in three parts. Part 1 provides general guidelines and best practices for the management of cryptographic keying material, including definitions for the security services that may be provided when using cryptography and the algorit...

Abstract: This document introduces the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL), a NIST-developed, open-source, machine-readable language that modernizes manual, paper-based cybersecurity compliance by enabling automated and scalable processes. OSCAL standardizes security documentation for easier mo...

Abstract: Establishing trust between a network and an Internet of Things (IoT) device (as defined in NIST Internal Report 8425) prior to providing the device with the credentials it needs to join the network is crucial for mitigating the risk of potential attacks. There are two possibilities for attack. One h...

Abstract: This document provides an overview of trusted Internet of Things (IoT) device network-layer onboarding—a capability for securely providing IoT devices with their local network credentials in a manner that helps to ensure that the network is not put at risk as new IoT devices are conn...
