Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Version 1.3 Validation Program Test Requirements
This report defines the requirements and associated test procedures necessary for products or modules to achieve one or more Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) validations. Validation is awarded based on a defined set of SCAP capabilities by
Codes for the Identification of Federal and Federally-Assisted Organizations
The Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-12 called for new standards to be adopted governing the interoperable use of identity credentials to allow physical and logical access to Federal government locations and systems. The Personal Identity
A Software Assurance Reference Dataset: Thousands of Programs With Known Bugs
The Software Assurance Reference Dataset (SARD) is a growing collection of over 170 000 programs with precisely located bugs. The programs are in C, C++, Java, PHP, and C# and cover more than 150 classes of weaknesses, such as SQL injection, cross-site
Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Version 1.1
This publication describes a voluntary risk management framework ("the Framework") that consists of standards, guidelines, and best practices to manage cybersecurity-related risk. The Framework's prioritized, flexible, and cost-effective approach helps to
Poster: What Proportion of Vulnerabilities can be Attributed to Ordinary Coding Errors?
The analysis reported in this poster developed from questions that arose in discussions of the Reducing Software Vulnerabilities working group, sponsored by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in 2016 [1]. The key question we sought to
Combinatorial methods have attracted attention as a means of providing strong assurance at reduced cost, but when are these methods practical and cost-effective? This tutorial comprises two parts. The first introductory part will briefly explain the back-
Circuits using superconducting single-photon detectors and Josephson junctions to perform signal reception, synaptic weighting, and integration are investigated. The circuits convert photon-detection events into flux quanta, the number of which is
Superconducting optoelectronic networks I: general principles
The design of neural hardware is informed by the prominence of differentiated processing and information integration in cognitive systems. The central role of communication leads to the principal assumption of the hardware platform: signals between neurons
The HFEv- signature scheme is one of the most studied multivariate schemes and one of the major candidates for the upcoming standardization of post-quantum digital signature schemes. In this paper, we propose three new attack strategies against HFEv-, each
In 2016, Yasuda et al.presented a new multivariate encryption technique based on the Square and Rainbow primitives and utilizing the plus modifier that they called SRP. The scheme achieved a smaller blow-up factor between the plaintext space and ciphertext
This bulletin summarizes the information found in NIST SP 800-125A: Security Recommendations for Hypervisor Deployment on Servers, which provides technical guidelines regarding the secure execution of baseline functions of the hypervisor and are therefore
The ability to test systems that are based on the underlying products and services commonly referred to as the Internet of 'things' (IoT) is discussed. The role of a static metric that can be applied to design, architectures, hardware, 'things', and
