Advanced Communications Technologies Standards Report of the Advanced Communications Technologies Working Group
This report of the Advanced Communications Technologies Working Group of the Interagency Committee on Standards Policy (ICSP) provides an overview of Federal agency advanced communications technologies (ACT) standards activities and recommends standards
Tuning Arrays with Rays: Physics-Informed Tuning of Quantum Dot Charge States
Quantum computers based on gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) are expected to scale. However, as the number of qubits increases, the burden of manually calibrating these systems becomes unreasonable and autonomous tuning must be used. There has been a range
Neural networks three ways: unlocking novel computing schemes using magnetic tunnel junction stochasticity
Due to their interesting physical properties, myriad operational regimes, small size, and industrial fabrication maturity, magnetic tunnel junctions are uniquely suited for unlocking novel computing schemes for in-hardware neuromorphic computing. In this
Mobile Device Security: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Many organizations provide employees the flexibility to use their personal mobile devices to perform work-related activities. An ineffectively secured personal mobile device could expose an organization or employee to data loss or a privacy compromise
Industrial Wireless Cyberphysical Systems Performance Using Deep Learning
Industrial wireless communications networks have a major role in the future industrial cyber-physical systems (CPSs) to have higher flexibility and massive machine connectivity. However, the impact of the industrial wireless on the reliability and latency
This document provides guidance on how to secure operational technology (OT) while addressing their unique performance, reliability, and safety requirements. OT encompasses a broad range of programmable systems and devices that interact with the physical
Degradation Modeling of a Robot Arm to Support Prognostics and Health Management
Robots are increasingly being adopted in manufacturing industries and this trend is projected to continue. However, robots like all equipment, degrade once in operation and eventually fail. Yet today's manufacturing systems are highly paced requiring high
Measuring the Impact of Beamwidth and Bandwidth on the Wide-Sense Stationarity of Millimeter-Wave Channels
A wireless channel is wide-sense stationary (WSS) when the mean and autocorrelation of its small-scale fading are displacement invariant. This occurs when the channel is rich in propagation paths – their complex summation averages out any displacement
This talk will cover findings from over 4 years of NIST phishing training data, highlighting user context as the key to phishing susceptibility. We will discuss the NIST Phish Scale, our research on why users click, and how it can help users spot a phish.
High-performance computing (HPC) is a vital computational infrastructure for processing large data volumes, performing complex simulations, and conducting advanced machine learning model training. As such, HPC is a critical component of scientific
Face Analysis Technology Evaluation (FATE) Part 10: Performance of Passive, Software-based Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Algorithms
This report quantifies the accuracy of passive purely software-based face presentation attack detection (PAD) algorithms operating on conventional 2D imagery of various presentation attack instruments (PAI). The algorithms were submitted to the
De-Identifying Government Datasets: Techniques and Governance
De-identification is a general term for any process of removing the association between a set of identifying data and the data subject. This document describes the use of deidentification with the goal of preventing or limiting disclosure risks to
A Zero Trust Architecture Model for Access Control in Cloud-Native Applications in Multi-Location Environments
One of the basic tenets of zero trust is to remove the implicit trust in users, services, and devices based only on their network location, affiliation, and ownership. NIST Special Publication 800-207 has laid out a comprehensive set of zero trust
Comparison of Ice-on-Coil Thermal Energy Storage Models
Data collected from the Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are used to develop a physics-based and four machine learning models of ice-on-coil thermal energy storage (TES): linear
Advanced Application user interfaces for time-dependent Recursive indeXing (tRecX) Code: from Design to Production Deployment
The study of strong field interaction of lasers with atoms and molecules leading to phenomena such as photoionization and higher harmonic generation requires a careful mathematical treatment of complex atomic physics in order to solve the time-dependent
A Tunable 220 GHz Comb Generator Realized with an Ultrawideband Mixer in a InP HBT Technology
We present a new millimeter-wave electrical comb generator with frequency-adjustable tone spacing and a tunable RF center frequency. We use an ultrawideband mixer based on a Gilbert cell topology to upconvert the spectrum of a series of repetitive pulses
