Cybertrust in the IoT Age

July 31, 2018
Author(s)
Jeff Voas, D. Richard Kuhn, Constantinos Kolias, Angelos Stavrou, Georgios Kambourakis
The Internet of Things generates new opportunities but creates new challenges with respect to trustworthiness. Computing, architecture, and verification changes are inevitable to meet these challenges, particularly if predictions of 20 billion to 50

Voices of First Responders - Identifying Public Safety Communication Problems: Findings from User-Centered Interviews, Phase 1, Volume 1

July 31, 2018
Author(s)
Yee-Yin Choong, Shanee T. Dawkins, Susanne M. Furman, Kristen Greene, Sandra S. Prettyman, Mary F. Theofanos
The public safety community is in the process of transitioning from the use of land mobile radios to a technology ecosystem including a variety of broadband data sharing platforms. Successful deployment and adoption of new communication technology relies

User Context: An Explanatory Variable in Phishing Susceptibility

July 15, 2018
Author(s)
Kristen K. Greene, Michelle P. Steves, Mary Theofanos, Jennifer A. Kostick
Extensive research has been performed to examine the effectiveness of phishing defenses, but much of this research was performed in laboratory settings. In contrast, this work presents 4.5 years of workplace-situated, embedded phishing email training

In IoT We Trust?

July 13, 2018
Author(s)
Jeff Voas, D. Richard Kuhn, Phillip Laplante
In this short article, we review an abbreviated list of trust challenges that we foresee as increased adoption transforms the IoT into another ubiquitous technology just as the Internet is. These challenges are in no specific order, and are by no means a

Towards Managing Age of Network State Information in Challenged Networks

July 8, 2018
Author(s)
Vladimir V. Marbukh
Age of Information (AoI) is a recently introduced metric for freshness of the real-time information, which requires frequent updates. This paper argues that AoI is useful not only for real-time network applications, but also for network state information

Superconducting optoelectronic networks III: synaptic plasticity

July 5, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Adam N. McCaughan, Sonia M. Buckley, Christine A. Donnelly, Manuel C. Castellanos Beltran, Michael L. Schneider, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
As a means of dynamically reconfiguring the synaptic weight of a superconducting optoelectronic loop neuron, a superconducting flux storage loop is inductively coupled to the synaptic current bias of the neuron. A standard flux memory cell is used to

Pseudo-exhaustive Verification of Rule Based Systems

July 1, 2018
Author(s)
David R. Kuhn, Dylan J. Yaga, Raghu N. Kacker, Yu Lei, Chung Tong Hu
Rule-based systems are important in application domains such as artificial intelligence and business rule engines, as well as formal methods for software design. When translated into an implementation, simple expressions in rules may map to thousands of

No Phishing beyond This Point

June 27, 2018
Author(s)
Kristen Greene, Michelle P. Steves, Mary Theofanos
As phishing continues to evolve, what is your organization doing to stay off the hook?

NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework: Volume 1, Big Data Definitions [Version 2]

June 26, 2018
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang, Nancy Grady, NBD-PWG NIST Big Data Public Working Group
Big Data is a term used to describe the large amount of data in the networked, digitized, sensor- laden, information-driven world. The growth of data is outpacing scientific and technological advances in data analytics. Opportunities exist with Big Data to

NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework: Volume 2, Big Data Taxonomies [Version 2]

June 26, 2018
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang, Nancy Grady, NBD-PWG NIST Big Data Public Working Group
Big Data is a term used to describe the large amount of data in the networked, digitized, sensor- laden, information-driven world. While opportunities exist with Big Data, the data can overwhelm traditional technical approaches and the growth of data is

NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework: Volume 9, Adoption and Modernization

June 26, 2018
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang, Russell Reinsch, NBD-PWG NIST Big Data Public Working Group
The potential for organizations to capture value from Big Data improves every day as the pace of the Big Data revolution continues to increase, but the level of value captured by companies deploying Big Data initiatives has not been equivalent across all

Towards Developing Standardized Usability Evaluation Methodology for Public Safety Communications Technology: A User-Centered Approach

June 14, 2018
Author(s)
Kristen Greene, Shanee T. Dawkins, Yee-Yin Choong, Mary F. Theofanos, Sandra S. Prettyman, Susanne M. Furman, Michelle P. Steves
In public safety and homeland security, it is critical to understand technology users’ primary goals, the characteristics of the users, and the context in which they are operating. New and emerging technologies present opportunities and challenges for

Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information

June 13, 2018
Author(s)
Ron Ross, Kelley L. Dempsey, Victoria Pillitteri
The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) resident in nonfederal systems and organizations is of paramount importance to federal agencies and can directly impact the ability of the federal government to successfully conduct its assigned

Internet of Things (IoT) Metrology

June 11, 2018
Author(s)
Jeff Voas, D. Richard Kuhn, Phillip Laplante
The field of metrology has evolved into many classes and viewpoints over centuries of time. What we are suggesting is how that body of knowledge may be applicable to IoT and where the research opportunities for new measures that are IoT-centric might be in

Security Recommendations for Server-based Hypervisor Platforms

June 7, 2018
Author(s)
Ramaswamy Chandramouli
The Hypervisor platform is a collection of software modules that provides virtualization of hardware resources (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage) and thus enables multiple computing stacks (made of an operating system (OS) and application programs)
