Today, NIST is releasing Special Publication (SP) 800-218A, Secure Software Development Practices for Generative AI and Dual-Use Foundation Models: An SSDF Community Profile.
This publication augments the secure software development practices and tasks defined in SP 800-218, Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) Version 1.1: Recommendations for Mitigating the Risk of Software Vulnerabilities. SP 800-218A adds practices, tasks, recommendations, considerations, notes, and informative references that are specific to artificial intelligence (AI) model development throughout the software development life cycle.
This Community Profile is intended to be useful to the producers of AI models, the producers of AI systems that use those models, and the acquirers of those AI systems. This Profile should be used in conjunction with SP 800-218.
