Applications of machine learning at the limits of form-dependent scattering for defect metrology
Undetected patterning defects on semiconductor wafers can have severe consequences, both financially and technologically. Industry is challenged to find reliable and easy-to-implement methods for defect detection. In this paper we present robust machine
The selective application of technological and related procedural safeguards is an important responsibility of every federal organization in providing adequate security in its computer and telecommunication systems. This standard is applicable to all
Blockchains were designed to solve the problem of double-spending in cryptocurrencies, and the success of the Bitcoin design has generated vastly more interest than previous proposals for digital currencies. Blockchains are being used in other areas as
Channel Characterization and Delay Optimization for Industrial Wireless Control Systems
Wireless communication is gaining popularity in industry for its simple deployment, mobility and low cost. Ultra low latency and high reliability requirements of mission critical industrial applications are highly demanding for wireless communication, and
The Next Generation Risk Management Framework (RMF 2.0): A Holistic Methodology to Manage Information Security, Privacy and Supply Chain Risk
This bulletin summarizes the information found in NIST SP 800-37, Revision 2: Risk Management Framework for Information Systems and Organizations: A System Life Cycle Approach for Security and Privacy which provides guidelines for applying the RMF to
A data science challenge for converting airborne remote sensing data into ecological information
In recent years ecology has reached the point where a data science competition could be very productive. Large amounts of open data are increasingly available and areas of shared interest around which to center competitions are increasingly prominent. The
This document gives recommendations and guidelines for enhancing trust in email. The primary audience includes enterprise email administrators, information security specialists and network managers. This guideline applies to federal IT systems and will
Guide to Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Definition and Considerations
[Includes updates as of February 25, 2019] This document provides Federal agencies with a definition of attribute based access control (ABAC). ABAC is a logical access control methodology where authorization to perform a set of operations is determined by
Case Study - Exploring Children's Password Knowledge and Practices
Children use technology from a very young age, and often have to authenticate themselves. Yet very little attention has been paid to designing authentication specifically for this particular target group. The usual practice is to deploy the ubiquitous
This document proposes a reference design on how to architect enterprise-class protection for mobile devices accessing corporate resources. The example solutions presented here can be used by any organization implementing an enterprise mobility management
A Deep Learning-Based Weather Forecast System for Data Volume and Recency Analysis
Accurate weather forecast is important to our daily life. Through physical atmospheric models, the weather can be accurately forecasted in a short period time. To provide weather forecast, machines learning techniques can be used for understanding and
Propagating Measurement Uncertainty to Microwave Amplifier Nonlinear Behavioral Models
We propagate for the first time correlated measurement uncertainties into a nonlinear behavioral model of a millimetre-wave amplifier. We make use of the NIST Microwave Uncertainty Framework to evaluate the uncertainties in large-signal electromagnetic
A Layered Graphical Model for Cloud Forensic and Mission Impact Analysis
In this paper, we describe a layered graphical model to analyze the impact of cyber attacks on business processes and services. Our model has three layers: the upper layer models the business processes and their dependencies. The middle layer constructs
