Guest Editors Introduction: Cybersecurity or Privacy
Cybersecurity is a major concern. Governments, industry, and even hospitals IT infrastructure is being penetrated with increasing frequency and sophistication. The growth of mobile and IoT devices and amateur software only add to that. But, privacy is
Estimating t-way Fault Profile Evolution During Testing
Empirical studies have shown that most software interaction faults involve one or two variables interacting, with progressively fewer triggered by three or more, and no failure has been reported involving more than six variables interacting. This paper
Ontology-based laser and thermal metamodels for metal-based additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) is creating renewed interest in manufacturing thanks to the freedom it provides to design and innovate. One of the biggest challenges in AM is inadequate repeatability in product quality and reliability of the process for
We asked 7 experts 7 questions to find out what has occurred recently in terms of applying formal methods (FM) to security-centric, cyber problems. We were curious as to whether this successful methodology in "safety-critical" has succeeded as well for
Guideline for Using Cryptographic Standards in the Federal Government: Directives, Mandates and Policies
This document is part of a series intended to provide guidance to the Federal Government for using cryptography and NIST's cryptographic standards to protect sensitive, but unclassified digitized information during transmission and while in storage
Guideline for Using Cryptographic Standards in the Federal Government: Cryptographic Mechanisms
This document is intended to provide guidance to the Federal Government for using cryptography and NIST's cryptographic standards to protect sensitive, but unclassified digitized information during transmission and while in storage. The cryptographic
Key Recovery Attack on Cubic Simple Matrix Encryption
In the last few years multivariate public key cryptography has experienced an infusion of new ideas for encryption. Among these new strategies is the ABC Simple Matrix family of encryption schemes which utilize the structure of a large matrix algebra to
Effect of Bounded Rationality on Tradeoff Between Systemic Risks & Economic Efficiency in Networks
This paper discusses effect of bounded rationality on the systemic risks vs. economic performance tradeoff in large-scale networks operating under economic pressures. Existence of systemic risks in economically incentivized networked systems is
Certification Pathway for Downsampling 1000 ppi Fingerprint Friction Ridge Imagery to 500 ppi
The document describes the procedure by which fingerprint image downsampling procedures will be evaluated with respect to conformance to the NIST guidance for sample rate reduction of 1000 ppi friction ridge images to 500 ppi as specified in NIST Special
NIST Updates Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Guidelines
This bulletin summarized the information presented in NIST SP 800-156: Derived PIV Application and Data Model Test Guidelines and NIST SP 800-166: Representation of PIV Chain-of-Trust for Import and Export. These publications support Federal Information
Title III of the E-Government Act of 2002, entitled the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, requires NIST to prepare an annual public report on activities undertaken in the previous year, and planned for the coming year, to carry
This article sets out to examine foundational issues in data science including current challenges, basic research questions, and expected advances, as the basis for a new Data Science Research Program and associated Data Science Evaluation (DSE) series
Data Science Research Program at NIST Information Access Division
We examine foundational issues in data science including current challenges, basic research questions, and expected advances, as the basis for a new Data Science Initiative and evaluation series, introduced by the Information Access Division at the
Prediction of the UltravioletVisible Absorption Spectra of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Dibenzo and Naphtho) Derivatives of Fluoranthene
The annellation theory method has been used to predict the locations of maximum absorbance (LMA) of the ultravioletvisible (UV-Vis) spectral bands in the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) C24H14 (dibenzo and naphtho)derivatives of
Integrating Top-down and Bottom-up Cybersecurity Guidance using XML
This paper describes a markup-based approach for synthesizing disparate information sources, and then discusses a software implementation of the approach. The implementation, developed using XForms and Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)
Impact of Cooperative Space-Time/Frequency Diversity in OFDM Based Wireless Sensor Systems over Mobile Multipath Channels
Cooperative linear dispersion coding (LDC) can support arbitrary configurations of source nodes and destination nodes in virtual multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, we investigate two spatial diversity applications of cooperative LDC
