This publication provides a catalog of internet of things (IoT) device cybersecurity capabilities (i.e., features and functions needed from a device to support security controls) and non-technical supporting capabilities (i.e., actions and support needed
The challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks include connectivity, interoperability, security, and privacy. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) P1451.0 standard is being revised based on these challenges and

This document supplements NIST Interagency or Internal Report 8286, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), by providing additional detail regarding risk guidance, identification, and analysis. This report offers examples and
IoT smart home updates are a critical mechanism by which manufacturers can remediate security vulnerabilities and one of the few tools users have to secure their devices. Yet, security professionals view difficulties in patching IoT devices as a major
In this post, we illustrate how various techniques from privacy-enhancing cryptography, coupled with differential privacy protection, can be used to protect data privacy while enabling data utility. Of notable interest is the setting where there are
Attacks on the Internet of Things are increasing. Unfortunately, transparency and accountability that are paramount to securing Internet of Things devices are either missing or implemented in a questionable manner. Security auditing is a promising solution

During Fiscal Year 2020 (FY 2020), from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, the NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Cybersecurity and Privacy Program successfully responded to numerous challenges and opportunities in security and privacy
In this work, we present an orthogonal classification of memory corruption bugs, allowing precise structured descriptions of related software vulnerabilities. The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a well-known and used list of software weaknesses
This report summarizes the feedback received on the work of the NIST Cybersecurity for IoT program on device cybersecurity at a virtual workshop conducted April 22, 2021. NIST conducted the "Workshop Addressing Public Comment on NIST Cybersecurity for IoT
