Basic Cybersecurity Recommendations for HVAC Systems- Passwords
Cybersecurity has been a topic of increasing importance for several years. While fully securing a large and complex system can be very complicated, there are some basic precautions that can easily be applied to any system, and some basic precautions that
Measurements of IP3 and P1dB for Spectrum Monitoring with Software Defined Radios
This paper discusses methodology for characterizing linearity summary parameters of software-defined radio receivers. First, we introduce a highly automated testbed for 1-dB compression point (P1dB) and third-order input intercept point (IIP3). With this
Towards a Standard for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence
As individuals and communities interact in and with an environment that is increasingly virtual they are often vulnerable to the commodification of their digital exhaust. Concepts and behavior that are ambiguous in nature are captured in this environment
The Path to Consensus on Artificial Intelligence Assurance
Widescale adoption of intelligent algorithms requires that Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers provide assurances that an algorithm will perform as intended. Providing such guarantees involves quantifying capabilities and the associated risks across
Assessing Enhanced Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information
The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in nonfederal systems and organizations is important to federal agencies and can directly impact the ability of the Federal Government to successfully carry out its assigned missions and business
Implementation of DevSecOps for a Microservices-based Application with Service Mesh
Cloud-native applications have evolved into a standardized architecture consisting of multiple loosely coupled components called microservices (often typically implemented as containers) that are supported by an infrastructure for providing application
Specifying and Reasoning about CPS through the Lens of the NIST CPS Framework
This paper introduces a formal definition of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) in the spirit of the CPS Framework proposed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It shows that using this definition, various problems related to concerns
Open Media Forensics Challenge 2022 Evaluation Plan
This document describes the system evaluation tasks supported by the Open Media Forensics Challenge (OpenMFC) 2022. The evaluation plan covers resources, task definitions, task conditions, file formats for system inputs and outputs, evaluation metrics
We have developed a novel Monte Carlo-augmented channel estimator for millimeter-wave orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems To better estimate and correct a transmitted orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signal by incorporating the
The ThermoML archive is a subset of Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) data holdings corresponding to cooperation between NIST TRC and five journals: Journal of Chemical Engineering and Data (ISSN: 0021-9568), The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics (ISSN
Toward Robust Autotuning of Noisy Quantum Dot Devices
The current autotuning approaches for quantum dot (QD) devices, while showing some success, lack an assessment of data reliability. This leads to unexpected failures when noisy or otherwise low-quality data is processed by an autonomous system. In this
We show how to construct a threshold version of stateful hash-based signature schemes like those defined in XMSS (defined in RFC8391) and LMS (defined in RFC8554). Our techniques assume a trusted dealer and secure point-to-point communications; are
Smart Cities and Communities: A Key Performance Indicators Framework
This publication presents research findings and scientific work that advance the development and progression of smart city and community measurement methodology. The term 'smart,' as used in the phrase 'smart cities,' is defined here as the efficient use
Ransomware Risk Management: A Cybersecurity Framework Profile
Ransomware is a type of malicious attack where attackers encrypt an organization's data and demand payment to restore access. In some instances, attackers may also steal an organization's information and demand an additional payment in return for not
