Voice Biometrics: Future Trends and ChallengesAhead
Voice has become woven into the fabric of everyday human-computer interactions via ubiquitous assistants like Siri, Alexa, Google, Bixby, Viv, etc. The use of voice will only accelerate as speech interfaces move to wearables \citestarner2002role}, vehicles
OpenASR20: An Open Challenge for Automatic Speech Recognition ofConversational Telephone Speech in Low-Resource Languages
In 2020, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in cooperation with the Intelligence Advanced Research Project Activity (IARPA), conducted an open challenge on automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology for low-resource languages on
Domain generation algorithm (DGA) is commonly used to dynamically produce a large number of random domain names and select a small subset for actual use. DGA provides a method to make DNS mapping elusive and thereby make countermeasures ineffective. Modern
Cybersecurity has been a topic of increasing importance for several years. While fully securing a large system can be very complicated, there are some basic precautions that can easily be applied to any system. The purpose of this document is to briefly
Mobile Application Single Sign-On: Improving Authentication for Public Safety FirstResponders
On-demand access to public safety data is critical to ensuring that public safety and first responders (PSFRs) can protect life and property during an emergency. This public safety information, often needing to be accessed via mobile or portable devices
Non-technical supporting capabilities are actions a manufacturer or third-party organization performs in support of the cybersecurity of an IoT device. This publication defines an Internet of Things (IoT) device manufacturers' non-technical supporting
Quantifying Machining Process Inventories In Detailed Design
This paper quantifies machining process inventories based on commonly used techniques in various stages of the detailed design process. We investigate variabilities in process inventories between these techniques and their relation to manufacturing process
Approaches for Federal Agencies to Use the Cybersecurity Framework
The document highlights examples for implementing the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (known as the Cybersecurity Framework) in a manner that complements the use of other NIST security and privacy risk management standards
NIST SRE CTS Superset: A large-scale dataset for telephony speaker recognition
This document provides a brief description of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) speaker recognition evaluation (SRE) conversational telephone speech (CTS) Superset. The CTS Superset has been created in an attempt to provide the
'Passwords Keep Me Safe' - Understanding What Children Think about Passwords
Children use technology from a very young age, and often have to authenticate. The goal of this study is to explore children's practices, perceptions, and knowledge regarding passwords. Given the limited work to date and that the world's cyber posture and
Reservoir computing leveraging the transient non-linear dynamics of spin-torque nano-oscillators
Present artificial intelligence algorithms require extensive computations to emulate the behavior of large neural networks, operating current computers near their limits, which leads to high energy costs. A possible solution to this problem is the
Getting Started with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: A Quick Start Guide
This document intends to provide direction and guidance to those organizations – in any sector or community – seeking to improve cybersecurity risk management via utilization of the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity
Attribute-based Access Control for Microservices-based Applications Using a Service Mesh
Deployment architecture in cloud-native applications now consists of loosely coupled components, called microservices, with all application services provided through a dedicated infrastructure, called a service mesh, independent of the application code
