Biosecurity for Synthetic Nucleic Acid Sequences

Ongoing
Synthetic nucleic acid technologies are fundamental to U.S. biotechnology and biomanufacturing innovation. However, like other transformative technologies, they carry dual-use potential: while they can drive significant progress, they pose risks of unintentional or deliberate misuse to engineer...

Bugs Framework (BF)

Ongoing
BF bugs models, multidimensional weakness and failure taxonomies, and vulnerability models define the lexis, syntax, and semantics of the BF formal language and form the basis for the definition of secure coding principles. The BF formalism supports a deeper understanding of vulnerabilities as...

AI for Building Systems Innovation (AIBSI) Program

Ongoing
Objective To develop and deploy advances in measurement science that will improve building operations to ensure cyber-secure facilities, system reliability, occupant comfort/safety and lower operating costs through AI-enabled building systems. What is the problem? Buildings are complex systems of...

Classification Methods for the NIST Biorepository

Ongoing
NIST has been archiving biological and environmental specimens, including marine animal and environmental samples, for over 40 years. Currently, these biospecimens are stored at cryogenic temperatures in the NIST Biorepository located at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, SC. Various...

Comparative Mammalian Proteome Aggregator Resource (CoMPARe) Program

Ongoing
Comparative proteomics strives to gain insight into key underlying molecular changes that result in unique phenotypes across related taxa. Proteomic analysis complements comparative genomics by providing evidence of protein abundance, orthogonal to gene copy number and amount of transcript. To...

Composition in IoT/CPS

Completed
One approach develops a ‘CPS algebra’ based on a formal language that offers the expressive power needed to capture the observable behavior of Cyber-Physical System (CPS) components, and at the same time offers a way to express the notion of composition of CPSs. A second effort extends the in...

Computation Platform for AI/ML

Ongoing
In collaboration with NIST’s Information Technology Laboratory and Office of Information Systems Management, the Material Measurement Laboratory's Material Data Division is supporting the deployment and development of the long-term operational model for the enki computation platform for NIST staff...

Computational Biology Project

Ongoing
Overview: High-throughput technologies are generating large amounts of complex data that is difficult to process and convert into knowledge Issues exist throughout data lifecycle: Acquisition Analysis Archiving Interchange Imaging technologies are increasingly being used both as diagnostic tools and...

Computer Forensic Reference Data Sets

Ongoing
There are several uses envisioned for the data sets, but we also expect that there will be unforeseen applications. The four most obvious applications are testing forensic tools, establishing that lab equipment is functioning properly, testing proficiency in specific skills and training laboratory...

Computer Forensics Tool Testing (CFTT)

Ongoing
The Computer Forensics Tool Testing Program is a project in The Software Diagnostics and Conformance Testing Division supported by The Office of Law Enforcement Standards.

Configurable Data Curation System (CDCS)

Ongoing
The ability to automate and accelerate the activities of scientific and engineering lifecycles for materials science (or any other domain) depends critically on a scalable infrastructure for scientific data. Without appropriate data or inter-connection of that data, no meaningful automation or...

Conformance Testing of JPEG 2000 CODEC's

Ongoing
Those suppliers wishing to submit NIST Special Publication 500-289 implementations of JPEG 2000 CODECs for conformance testing to NIST must follow the procedures, outlined in NIST Special Publication 300. This includes obtaining a NIST assigned encoder identifier, downloading the NIST reference...

Consistency Analysis and Uncertainty in ‘omic Data

Ongoing
‘Omics is increasingly moving out of the laboratory and towards use in industrial and commercial applications. For instance, in biomanufacturing, there is a need for quality control when developing biotherapeutics, which will almost certainly require a machine-learning classifier to separate...

Contactless Fingerprint Capture

Ongoing
Conventional fingerprint sensors require a person to touch the device platen or sensor. Disadvantages to this mode of acquisition include the time required to collect (particularly rolled)prints as well as hygiene concerns. The government has funded research for the development of fast-capture non...

Cryptographic Applications and Infrastructures

Ongoing

Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things Program

Completed
Objective - Enable scalable, dependable design methods and reproducible performance measurement for effective and trustworthy (reliable, safe, secure, resilient and privacy-enhancing) cyber-physical systems and IoT, by means of new measurement science, advanced testing and assurance capabilities and...

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things for Smart Cities

Completed
Objective - To provide the measurement science and standards-based foundations for interoperable, replicable, scalable, and trustworthy cyber-physical systems that can be readily and cost-effectively deployed by cities and communities of all types and sizes to improve their efficiency...

Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things Foundations

Completed
Objective - To provide a common technical and conceptual foundation for CPS and IoT that enables conceptualization, realization and assurance across all domains, including a comprehensive and traceable methodology for meeting all stakeholder concerns throughout any systems engineering process and...

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things Testbed

Completed
Objective - To develop general design principles useful to all cyber-physical systems testbed developers and the co-simulation community; to develop specific design concepts to guide the development, operation, and evolution of NIST’s IoT/CPS testbed; and to establish a cross-sector IoT/CPS testbed...
