3D Segmentation of Stem Cells from Thousands of Confocal Microscopy Images
We address the problem of estimating 3D segmentation performance when segmentation is applied to thousands of confocal microscopy images (z-stacks) of cells. With a very large number of z-stacks, manual inputs to validate each segmentation result are
Implementing Trusted Geolocation Services in the Cloud
The bulletin summarizes the information presented in NISTIR 7904, "Trusted Geolocation in the Cloud: Proof of Concept Implementation". The publication explains security challenges involving Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing technologies
Absorption Cross Section Measurements of a Human Body in a Reverberation Chamber
We provide the results of human body absorption cross section (ACS) measurements. The setup was based on the reverberation chamber as a well-known measurement environment capable of performing ACS measurements. The approach was supported by reference
ZHFE, designed by Porras et al., is one of the few promising candidates for a multivariate public-key encryption algorithm. In this article we extend and expound upon the existing security analysis on this scheme. We prove security against differential
A Regret Matching Strategy Framework for Inter-BAN Interference Mitigation
A Body Area Network (BAN) is a radio standard for wireless connectivity of wearable and implantable sensors located inside or in close proximity to the human body. Medical and some other applications impose stringent constraints on battery powered BAN
On the Differential Security of the HFEv - Signature Primitive
Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) is one of the most attractive post-quantum options for digital signatures in a wide array of applications. The history of multivariate signature schemes is tumultuous, however, and solid security arguments are
Our research began from asking whether there is a science behind the Internet of Things (IoT). We started from zero knowledge and no bias. The results of that work determined that indeed there is a science, but it is a science of numerous actors, that when
This paper describes tests of the calibration-comparison method as an approach to assessing the measurement accuracy of large-signal network analyzer calibrations. We show that having one trusted reference calibration allows the calibration accuracy of the
Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Version 1.2 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
Recommendation for Key Management, Part 1: General
This Recommendation provides cryptographic key management guidance. It consists of three parts. Part 1 provides general guidance and best practices for the management of cryptographic keying material. Part 2 provides guidance on policy and security
Kinetic-Based Micro Energy-Harvesting for Wearable Sensors
Wearable sensors are considered to be a key component of cognitive infocommunications systems. These sensors, which are basically enabler of inter-cognitive communication, will provide physical interfaces between humans and future information and
Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations [including updates as of 01-14-2016]
[Superseded by SP 800-171 Rev. 1 (December 2016): https://www.nist.gov/publications/protecting - controlled-unclassified-information-nonfederal-systems-and-organizations] The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while residing in
Much software research and practice involves ostensible measurements of software, yet little progress has been made on an SI-like metrological foundation for those measurements since the work of Gray, Hogan, et al. in 1996-2001. Given a physical object
Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials (DPC) Proof of Concept Research
This report documents proof of concept research for Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials. Smart card-based PIV Cards cannot be readily used with most mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, but Derived PIV Credentials (DPCs)
