In order to facilitate the development of applications and middleware that support the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card, NIST has developed a set of test PIV Cards and a supporting public key infrastructure. This set of test cards includes not

Toward Secure Routing Infrastructures

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Douglas C. Montgomery, Sandra Murphy
Routing infrastructures are possibly the most vital, complex, and fragile components in the global information infrastructure. They are also the least protected from attack. In the public Internet, for example, the IP routing infrastructure comprises tens

Uncertainty Analysis for Vector Measurands Using Fiducial Inference

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Chih-Ming Wang, Hariharan K. Iyer
This paper presents a method for constructing uncertainty regions for a vector measurand in the presence of both type-A and type-B errors. The method is based on the principle of fiducial inference and generally requires a Monte Carlo approach for
