Author(s)
Murugiah Souppaya, Alper Kerman, Karen Scarfone, Kevin Stine, Brian E. Johnson, Chris Peloquin, Vanessa Ruffin, Tyler Diamond, Mark Simos, Sean Sweeney
Despite widespread recognition that patching is effective and attackers regularly exploit unpatched software, many organizations do not adequately patch. There are myriad reasons why, not the least of which are that it's resource-intensive and that the act

The Path to Consensus on Artificial Intelligence Assurance

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Laura Freeman, Feras Batarseh, D. Richard Kuhn, M S Raunak, Raghu N. Kacker
Widescale adoption of intelligent algorithms requires that Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers provide assurances that an algorithm will perform as intended. Providing such guarantees involves quantifying capabilities and the associated risks across

Towards a Standard for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Reva Schwartz, Apostol Vassilev, Kristen K. Greene, Lori Perine, Andrew Burt, Patrick Hall
As individuals and communities interact in and with an environment that is increasingly virtual they are often vulnerable to the commodification of their digital exhaust. Concepts and behavior that are ambiguous in nature are captured in this environment

Coalition and Threshold Hash-Based Signatures

February 25, 2022
Author(s)
John M. Kelsey, Stefan Lucks
We show how to construct a threshold version of stateful hash-based signature schemes like those defined in XMSS (defined in RFC8391) and LMS (defined in RFC8554). Our techniques assume a trusted dealer and secure point-to-point communications; are

Smart Cities and Communities: A Key Performance Indicators Framework

This publication presents research findings and scientific work that advance the development and progression of smart city and community measurement methodology. The term 'smart,' as used in the phrase 'smart cities,' is defined here as the efficient use

Ransomware Risk Management: A Cybersecurity Framework Profile

February 23, 2022
Author(s)
Bill Fisher, Murugiah Souppaya, William Barker, Karen Scarfone
Ransomware is a type of malicious attack where attackers encrypt an organization's data and demand payment to restore access. In some instances, attackers may also steal an organization's information and demand an additional payment in return for not
