Reduce Costs and Increase Quality with Information Exchange Standards for Manufacturing Quality
With the proliferation of computers to process, store, and transfer information, manufacturers are suffering increasing costs due to information incompatibilities. The information incompatibility problem in manufacturing quality is costly to everyone
This document reports on wireless channel measurements and models for outdoor to indoor propagation environments. Although there have been a number of publications that have recently appeared on this topic, e.g., [1], [2], and references therein, the
Non-degenerated sequential time-bin entanglement generation using periodically poled KTP waveguide
We have experimentally implemented a non-degenerate sequential time-bin entangled photon-pair source using a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) waveguide at a clock rate of 1 GHz. The wavelengths of the signal and idler are 895 and 1310
Recommendation for Pair-Wise Key Establishment Schemes Using Integer Factorization Cryptography
[Superseded by SP 800-56B Rev. 1 (September 2014): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=916341 ] This recommendation specifies key establishment schemes using integer factorization cryptography, based on ANS X9 44, Key Establishment
Low noise up-conversion single photon detector and its applications in quantum information systems
We developed low-noise up-conversion single photon detectors for 1310 nm based on a periodically-poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) waveguide. The low-noise feature is achieved by using a pulsed optical pump at a wavelength longer than the signal wavelength. The
Three Dimensional Shape Retrieval using Scale Invariant Feature Transform and Spatial Restrictions
Three dimensional shape retrieval is a fairly new concept being studied all over the world. It is notable and essential because it can be applied to multiple disciplines in society, including: computer vision, CAD models, computer graphics, molecular
Revised Catalog of Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations: For Use in Both National Security and Nonnational Security Systems
This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 3, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, on the catalog of security controls for information systems. These best

Users Manual for Version 2.1.5 of the NIST DMIS Test Suite (for DMIS 5.1)
The NIST DMIS Test Suite, version 2.1.5, is described. The test suite is intended to serve two purposes, 1) to help users and vendors use version 5.1 of DMIS (the Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard) and 2) to provide utilities and test files for
A 1D Spectral Image Validation/Verification Metric for Fingerprints
Image validation and verification are important functions in the acquisition of fingerprint images from live-scan devices and for assessing and maintaining the fidelity of fingerprint image databases. In addition to law enforcement, such databases are used
Valid Affine Domain Extensions: Improving upon Security Bound of PRP-based PRFs
This paper provides an improved security analysis of popular pseudorandom functions (PRF) based on an $n$-bit pseudorandom permutation (PRP). In CRYPTO-05, an improved security analysis of \tx{CBC} (with prefix-free message space) was shown. The similar
PRF-Security Revisited With New Efficient Single-Keyed Domain Extensions
In this paper, we study a wide class of single-keyed domain extension algorithms, called generalized domain extension (\tx{GDE}), extending a keyed function $F_K : {0,1}^b \to {0,1}^n$ to a keyed function $\overline{F}_K : {0,1}^* \to {0,1}^n$, $K \in {0,1
This document describes the use of ISO/IEC 24727 in enabling client-applications to access identity credentials issued by different credential issuers.
Security and Privacy Issues in Agent-Based Location-Aware Mobile Commerce
Mobile commerce and location-aware services promise to combine the conveniences of both online and offline bricks-and-mortar services. Just as agent-enabled desktop computers can be used to improve a users e-commerce experience, so can agent-enabled mobile

Experimental Study of High Sensitivity Infrared Spectrometer with Waveguide-Based Up-Conversion Detector
We developed an up-conversion spectrometer for signals at single photon levels near the infrared region based on a tunable up-conversion detector which uses a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide as the conversion medium. We also
