NIST Guidance on Application Container Security

October 25, 2017
Author(s)
Ramaswamy Chandramouli, Murugiah Souppaya, Karen Scarfone
This bulletin summarizes the information found in NIST SP 800-190, Application Container Security Guide and NISTIR 8176, Security Assurance Requirements for Linux Application Container Deployments. The bulletin offers an overview of application container

Studying Water and Solute Transport through Desalination Membranes via Neutron Radiography

October 25, 2017
Author(s)
Devin L. Shaffer, Jacob M. LaManna, David L. Jacobson, Daniel S. Hussey, Menachem Elimelech, Edwin P. Chan
Neutron radiography, a non-destructive imaging technique, is applied to study water and solute transport through desalination membranes. Specifically, we use neutron radiography to quantify lithium chloride draw solute concentrations across a thin-film

Perspectives for a new realization of the pascal by optical methods

October 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Karl Jousten, Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Tom Rubin, Christof Gaiser, Rene Schodel, James A. Fedchak, Jacob E. Ricker, Jens Fluegge, Stephen P. Eckel, Julia K. Scherschligt, Daniel S. Barker, Kevin O. Douglass, Gregory F. Strouse, Uwe Sterr, Waldimir Sabuga
Since the beginning of measurement of pressure in the 17th century, the unit of pressure has been defined by the relationship of force per unit area. The present state of optical technology now offers the possibility of using a thermodynamic definition

Process Document for the NIST List of Certified Devices

October 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jason D. Kahn
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 defined responsibilities for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in regards to the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) and FirstNet (FN). AT&T was awarded to be a

Towards Probabilistic Identification of Zero-day Attack Paths

October 24, 2017
Author(s)
Xiaoyan Sun, Dai Jun, Peng Liu, Anoop Singhal, John Yen
Zero-day attacks continue to challenge the enterprise network security defense. A zero-day attack path is formed when a multi- step attack contains one or more zero-day exploits. Detecting zero-day attack paths in time could enable early disclosure of zero

2016 NIST/ITL Cybersecurity Program: Annual Report

October 23, 2017
Author(s)
Patrick D. O'Reilly, Kristina G. Rigopoulos, Gregory A. Witte, Larry Feldman
Title III of the E-Government Act of 2002, entitled the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, requires NIST to prepare an annual public report on activities undertaken in the previous year, and planned for the coming year, to carry

NSRL Kaspersky dataset documentation

October 23, 2017
Author(s)
Alexander J. Nelson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Software Reference Library (NSRL) has created curated releases of the Reference Data Set (RDS) consisting of hashes of Kaspersky products. This is in response to the DHS directive on

Flame Spread Along Fences Near a Structure in a Wind Field

October 20, 2017
Author(s)
Kathryn M. Butler, Erik L. Johnsson, Marco G. Fernandez, Mariusz Zarzecki, Eric Auth
Combustible fences have been identified in post-fire investigations of wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires as potential threats to homes and other structures. They may ignite due to direct fire contact or firebrands, they may conduct fire along their

Evaluating the Effects of Modeling Errors for Isolated Finite 3-D Targets

October 19, 2017
Author(s)
Mark Alexander Henn, Bryan M. Barnes, Hui Zhou
Optical 3-D nanostructure metrology utilizes a model-based metrology approach to determine critical dimensions (CDs) that are well below the inspection wavelength. Our project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is evaluating how to

Two determinations of the Ge-68 half-life

October 19, 2017
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Jeffrey T. Cessna, Brian E. Zimmerman
In nuclear medicine, 68Ge is used to generate 68Ga for imaging by positron emission tomography (PET) and sealed sources containing 68Ge/68Ga in equilibrium have been adopted as long-lived calibration surrogates for the more common PET nuclide, 18F. We

Algorithm for rapid determination of optical scattering parameters

October 18, 2017
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine, Adam L. Pintar, Richelle H. Streater, Anne-Michelle R. Lieberson, Catherine C. Cooksey, Paul Lemaillet
Preliminary experiments at the NIST Spectral Tri-function Automated Reference Reflectometer (STARR) facility have been conducted with the goal of providing the diffuse optical properties of a solid reference standard with optical properties similar to

Development of A New Atom-Based SI Traceable Electric-Field Metrology Technique

October 18, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Joshua A. Gordon
We are developing a fundamentally new atom-based approach for Electric (E) metrology. This technique has the capability of becoming a new international standard for E-field measurements and calibrations. Since this new approach is based on atomic

Growth-Induced In-Plane Uniaxial Anisotropy V 2 O 3 /Ni Films

October 18, 2017
Author(s)
Dustin Allen Gilbert, Juan Gabriel Ramirez, T. Saerbeck, J. Trastoy, Ivan K. Schuller, Kai Liu, J. de la Venta
We report a microstructure-induced uniaxial anisotropy in V 2O 3/Ni hybrid thin films obtained from temperature and angular dependence of the magnetization. X-ray diffraction and reciprocal space maps identify the in-plane crystalline axes of the V 2O 3
