Application container technologies, also known as containers, are a form of operating system virtualization combined with application software packaging. Containers provide a portable, reusable, and automatable way to package and run applications. This
Evaluating the Effects of Cyber-Attacks on Cyber Physical Systems using a Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Testbed
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) consist of embedded computers with sensing and actuation capability, and are integrated into and tightly coupled with a physical system. Because the physical and cyber components of the system are tightly coupled, cyber
Enhancing Resilience of the Internet and Communications Ecosystem: A NIST Workshop Proceedings
This proceedings documents the July 11-12, 2017 "Enhancing Resilience of the Internet and Communications Ecosystem" workshop led by National Institute of Standards and Technology Standards. Executive Order 13800, "Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal
[Superseded by NISTIR 8183 (September 2017, Includes updates as of May 20, 2019)]This document provides the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) implementation details developed for the manufacturing environment. The "Manufacturing Profile" of the Cybersecurity
Advancing coordinated cyber-investigations and tool interoperability using a community developed specification language
Any investigation can have a digital dimension, often involving information from multiple data sources, organizations and jurisdictions. Existing approaches to representing and exchanging cyber-investigation information are inadequate, particularly when
Understanding the Major Update to NIST SP 800-63: Digital Identity Guidelines
This bulletin outlines the updates NIST recently made in its four-volume Special Publication (SP) 800-63, Digital Identity Guidelines, which provide agencies with technical guidelines regarding the digital authentication of users to federal networked
Regret Minimization Based Adaptation of the Energy Detection Threshold in Body Area Networks
IEEE802.15.6 is a radio interface standard for wireless connectivity of wearable and implantable sensors and actuators located inside or in close proximity to the human body i.e., Body Area Network (BAN). Medical applications impose stringent requirements
In 2016, NIST conducted the most recent in an ongoing series of speaker recognition evaluations (SRE) to foster research in robust text-independent speaker recognition, as well as measure performance of the current state-of-the-art systems, targeting in
Understanding and developing complex systems requires collaboration between individuals with widely varying expertise. Communication between these individuals is facilitated by conceptual models. Conceptual models are early stage artifacts that integrate
Combinatorial Testing of Full Text Search in Web Applications
Database driven web applications are some of most widely developed systems today. Testing these applications effectively and discovering difficult-to-find bugs continues to be a challenge for software engineers. In this paper, we show that combinatorial
Combinatorial and MC/DC Coverage Levels of Random Testing
Software testing criteria differ in effectiveness, numbers of required test cases, and processes of test generation. Specific criteria are often compared with random testing as the simplest basic approach and, in some cases, random testing shows a
Cryptography Standards in Quantum Time - New wine in old wineskin?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Government announced a call for proposals for quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms on December 15, 2016. The scope of the call covers all public-key cryptographic
