A New Classification of Information: A Step on the Road to Interpretability
Complex systems, such as manufacturing supply chains, are often modeled as a collection of interacting components with information flows between them. These components are frequently responsible for making a wide range of decisions that are implemented
Kinetic Minimum-Power Routing and Clustering in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
We have previously developed a distributed routing algorithm which minimizes the number of overhead messages necessary to maintain the minimum-power multi-hop routes in a mobile ad-hoc network, assuming a piece-wise linear model for the motion of the nodes
IEEE 802.11 FHSS Receiver Design for Cluster-Based Multihop Video Communications
Recently, we proposed an ad-hoc, cluster-based, multihop network architecture for video communications using IEEE 802.11 FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) wireless LAN technology with 2GFSK (2-level Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) modulation
Healthcare Information Standards & Testing: A Concept Paper
This paper was inspired by preliminary discussions between NIST and members of the healthcare community who are impacted by the use of emerging information technology. Topics of discussion included the current state of standards work in the healthcare
Cryptographic Standards and Guidance: A Status Report
A comprehensive toolkit of cryptographic standards and associated guideline that covers a wide range of cryptographic technology is currently under development by the Computer Security Division at NIST. These standards and guidelines will enable U.S
Situated Computing: The Next Frontier for HCI Research
Today, much of our information-intensive work is carried out at desktop computer workstations; however, increasingly people work and live on the move. Very soon, scads of small information processing appliances will be carried along from place to place as
Setup and Test Procedures dd (GNU Fileutils) 4.0.36 Forensic Tests
This document describes the testing of dd (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36 as a disk imaging tool on a Linux platform. The Linux version used was Linux version 2.4.2-2 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-79). The test cases that were applied are described in Disk Imaging Tool
Security for Telecommuting and Broadband Communications
[Superseded by SP 800-46 Rev. 1 (June 2009): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=902685 ] This document introduces broadband communication technologies, and the security considerations associated with them. It discusses the use of a
Secure Hash Standard (SHS) [includes Change Notice from 2/25/2004]
[Superseded by FIPS 180-3 (October 2008): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=901372 ] This standard specifies four secure hash algorithms, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. All four of the algorithms are iterative, one-way hash
[Superseded by SP 800-40 Version 2.0 (November 2005): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=150402 ] Timely patching is critical to maintain the operational availability, confidentiality, and integrity of IT systems. However, failure
Parameter Extraction Sequence for Silicon Carbide Schottky, Merged PiN Schottky, and PiN Power Diode Models
A detailed parameter extraction sequence for Silicon Carbide (SiC) power diode models is presented. The sequence is applicable to any SiC diode technology. Also, the model is demonstrated for a 1.5-kV, 10-A SiC Merged PiN Schottky (MPS); 5-kV, 20-A PiN; a
Modeling Attack Problems and Protection Schemes for All-Optical Transport Networks
In All-Optical Transport Networks (AOTN), fault survivability issues are quite similar to those encountered in electro-optic networks that regenerate signals at the network node. On the other hand, attack survivability issues concerning physical fiber
