From page 1...
... This panel will review technical reports and technical program descriptions prepared by NIST staff and will visit the facilities of the Information Technology Laboratory. The visit will include technical presentations by NIST staff, demonstrations of NIST projects, tours of NIST facilities, and discussions with NIST staff.
From page 2...
... CSD's Lightweight Cryptography project promises good potential application if it receives greater visibility and resources. RECOMMENDATION: The CSD should consider adding staff to the Lightweight Cryptography project.
From page 3...
... In the projects that are strategic national cybersecurity resources, the CSD is performing functions of a national laboratory. However, the CSD does not have recruiting programs like the national laboratories for mid-career staff.
From page 4...
... Notable accomplishments include the use of computer simulation in the development of a standard reference mortar to replace expensive oils in concrete rheometers; the design of standard reference artifacts for calibrating magnetic resonance imagers (MRIs) ; the deployment of community software for computing the physical properties of complex microstructures in solids from image data in 4

... Advanced Network Technologies Division The ANTD has four major project areas: Network Resilience, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, and Future Network Technologies. ANTD's projects include testing methodology of indoor localization and tracking systems, wireless networks, wireless networking specifically for smart manufacturing, network resilience, robust interdomain routing, high-assurance domains, measurement for complex systems, a distributed algorithm for suppressing epidemic spread in networks, the NIST cloud computing program, software-defined networks and virtual networks, and information-centric networking.
From page 6...
... The division needs to leverage current efforts to explore commercially promising technologies such as mobile edge computing. The Smart Grid is a key component of the nation's energy strategic plan.
From page 7...
... Two CSD projects in particular are strategic national cybersecurity resources. The Cryptography project creates standards that are implemented by virtually every significant commercial encryption in a laptop computer, cell phone, or automated teller machine, and NIST's cryptographic standards are widely adopted by industry groups.
From page 8...
... The team has developed what appears to be a potentially cost-effective and thus practical solution for deployment, although a formal cost-benefit analysis has not yet been done. The NCCoE initiated the Securing Wireless Infusion Pump project with the goal of applying the cybersecurity framework to devise a set of specific security measures that could enable health-care delivery organizations such as hospitals to use wireless infusion pumps for drug delivery without introducing undue risks.
From page 9...
... The ACD Privacy Engineering Program helps technology managers navigate privacy engineering concerns via guidance such as NISTIR 8062, integrates the new privacy sensibilities into existing NIST Special Publications, and participates in collaborations, workshops, and standards bodies. ACD has 5 The White House, 2017, "Executive Order on Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure," May 11.
From page 10...
... RECOMMENDATION: The NCCoE should develop a process by which results from the field are systematically and proactively tracked and monitored after a project has been successfully transferred out of the NCCoE laboratory. The results from this proactive monitoring should then be disseminated (e.g., by the NIST Special Publications 1800 series)
