Journal: IEEE Transactions on Reliability Abstract: This article summarizes some recent novel approaches to the problem of verification, testing, and assurance of autonomous systems. These include proxy verification and combinatorial methods for input space coverage measurement, which also has applications to explainable artificial intelligence. The...

Abstract: The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 introduced the term “Community Profiles” to reflect the use of the CSF for developing use case-specific cybersecurity risk management guidance for multiple organizations. This guide provides considerations for creating and using Community Profiles to help i...

Abstract: Information and communications technology (ICT) domains — such as cybersecurity, privacy, and Internet of Things (IoT) — have many requirements and recommendations made by national and international standards, guidelines, frameworks, and regulations. An Online Informative Reference (OLIR) provides a...

Abstract: The National Online Informative References (OLIR) Program is a NIST effort to facilitate standardized definitions of Online Informative References (OLIRs) by subject matter experts. OLIRs are relationships between elements of documents from cybersecurity, privacy, and other information and communica...

Abstract: This document describes the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) approach to mapping the elements of documentary standards, regulations, frameworks, and guidelines to a particular NIST publication, such as Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Subcategories or SP 800-53r5 controls. This...

Abstract: The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 provides guidance to industry, government agencies, and other organizations to manage cybersecurity risks. It offers a taxonomy of high-level cybersecurity outcomes that can be used by any organization — regardless of its size, sector, or maturity — to bett...

Abstract: This guide provides small-to-medium sized businesses (SMB), specifically those who have modest or no cybersecurity plans in place, with considerations to kick-start their cybersecurity risk management strategy by using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. The guide also can assist other relat...

Abstract: This Quick-Start Guide gives an overview of creating and using organizational profiles for NIST CSF 2.0. An Organizational Profile describes an organization’s current and/or target cybersecurity posture in terms of cybersecurity outcomes from the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Core. Organizational Pr...

Abstract: This brief report presents a high-level overview of the CSF 2.0 and provides links to relevant resources such as the CSF 2.0 specification and supporting Quick-Start Guides.

Abstract: Attacks that target data are of concern to companies and organizations across many industries. Data breaches represent a threat that can have monetary, reputational, and legal impacts. This guide seeks to provide guidance concerning the threat of data breaches, exemplifying standards and technologie...

Abstract: Attacks that target data are of concern to companies and organizations across many industries. Data breaches represent a threat that can have monetary, reputational, and legal impacts. This guide seeks to provide guidance around the threat of data breaches, exemplifying standards and technologies th...

Conference: American Academy of Forensic Sciences 76th Anniversary Scientific Conference Abstract: In digital forensics, file system analysis is a precursor task to event reconstruction. Often, unallocated content within a file system is content of interest to an investigation, and thus recognition, extraction, and ascription of unallocated files are typical intermediary steps en route to interpr...

Abstract: The HIPAA Security Rule focuses on safeguarding electronic protected health information (ePHI) held or maintained by regulated entities. The ePHI that a regulated entity creates, receives, maintains, or transmits must be protected against reasonably anticipated threats, hazards, and impermissible us...

Abstract: The predominant application architecture for cloud-native applications consists of multiple microservices, accompanied in some instances by a centralized application infrastructure, such as a service mesh, that provides all application services. This class of applications is generally developed usin...

Abstract: Security is essential component of high-performance computing (HPC). HPC systems often differ based on the evolution of their system designs, the applications they run, and the missions they support. An HPC system may also have its own unique security requirements, follow different security guidance...

Journal: IEEE Reliability Magazine Abstract: Combinatorial testing is an approach where test suites are developed by efficiently covering interactions of parameter values and configuration settings. Multiple studies over the years have shown the interesting phenomenon where almost all defects in a system originate from interactions of a few sp...

Abstract: This Recommendation specifies techniques for the derivation of additional keying material from a secret key—either established through a key establishment scheme or shared through some other manner—using pseudorandom functions HMAC, CMAC, and KMAC.

Abstract: This document is a Cybersecurity Framework Profile developed for voting equipment and information systems that support elections. This Election Infrastructure Profile can be utilized by election administrators and IT professionals who manage election infrastructure to reduce the risks associated wit...

Abstract: NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-60 facilities the application of appropriate levels of information security according to a range of levels of impact or consequence that may result from unauthorized disclosure, modification, or use of the information or systems. This publication provides a methodol...

Abstract: [See the Abstract for SP 800-100]

Abstract: This NIST Trustworthy and Responsible AI report develops a taxonomy of concepts and defines terminology in the field of adversarial machine learning (AML). The taxonomy is built on surveying the AML literature and is arranged in a conceptual hierarchy that includes key types of ML methods and lifecy...

Abstract: Encryption technology can be incorporated into access control mechanisms based on user identities, user attributes, or resource attributes. Traditional public-key encryption requires different data to have different keys that can be distributed to users who satisfy perspective access control policie...

Abstract: Genomic data has enabled the rapid growth of the U.S. bioeconomy and is valuable to the individual, industry, and government because it has multiple intrinsic properties that in combination make it different from other types of data that possess only a subset of these properties. The characteristics...

Abstract:

Abstract: The document provides appropriate and useful guidelines for assessing the reliability of issuers of PIV Cards and derived PIV credentials. These issuers store personal information and issue credentials based on OMB policies and the standards published in response to HSPD-12. The reliability of an is...
