From its measurement of the natural resonance frequency of caesium — which is used to define the second — NIST broadcasts time signals via longwave radio station WWVB at Fort Collins, Colorado, and shortwave radio stations WWV and WWVH, located at Fort Collins, Colorado and Kekaha, Hawaii, respectively.

A new development, called the rotating-wheel braille display, was developed in 2000 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) and although a second rotating display was designed at the Leuven University in Belgium both wheels are still in the process of commercialization.

For instance, the NIST advises that "… to avoid confusion, prefix symbols ( and prefixes ) are not used with the time-related unit symbols ( names ) min ( minute ), h ( hour ), d ( day ); nor with the angle-related symbols ( names ) ° ( degree ), ′ ( minute ), and ″ ( second ).

The BIPM ’ s position on the use of SI prefixes with units of time larger than the second is the same as that of the NIST but their position with regard to angles differs: they state " However astronomers use milliarcsecond, which they denote mas, and microarcsecond, µas, which they use as units for measuring very small angles.

A cesium atom with a velocity of 7 mm per second is equivalent to temperature of about 700 nK ( which was a record cold temperature achieved by the NIST in 1994 ).

While the RSA patent expired in 2000, there are patents in force covering certain aspects of ECC technology, though some argue that the Federal elliptic curve digital signature standard ( ECDSA ; NIST FIPS 186-3 ) and certain practical ECC-based key exchange schemes ( including ECDH ) can be implemented without infringing them.

A letter is often appended to the psi unit to indicate the measurement's zero reference ; psia for absolute, psig for gauge, psid for differential, although this practice is discouraged by the NIST.

NIST states ; " Prefix symbols may be used with the unit symbol ° C and prefixes may be used with the unit name ' degree Celsius '.

NIST found a three-page white paper that mentioned another aircraft-impact analysis, involving impact of a Boeing 707 at, but the original documentation of the study, which was part of the building's 1, 200-page structural analysis, was lost when the Port Authority offices were destroyed in the collapse of the 1 WTC ; the copy was lost in 7 WTC.

Security programs overseen by NIST and CSE focus on working with government and industry to establish more secure systems and networks by developing, managing and promoting security assessment tools, techniques, services, and supporting programs for testing, evaluation and validation ; and addresses such areas as: development and maintenance of security metrics, security evaluation criteria and evaluation methodologies, tests and test methods ; security-specific criteria for laboratory accreditation ; guidance on the use of evaluated and tested products ; research to address assurance methods and system-wide security and assessment methodologies ; security protocol validation activities ; and appropriate coordination with assessment-related activities of voluntary industry standards bodies and other assessment regimes.

Organizations must meet the minimum security requirements by selecting the appropriate security controls and assurance requirements as described in NIST Special Publication 800-53, " Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems ".

In 2003 the U. S. National Institute for Standards and Technology, NIST, proposed that 80-bit keys should be phased out by 2015.

NIST guidelines state that ECC keys should be twice the length of equivalent strength symmetric key algorithms.

Since the definition of the equivalence factor may not be unequivocal, IUPAC and NIST discourage the use of normality.

In response to the NIST decision, the Census Bureau is in the process of transitioning over to the GNIS Feature ID, which will be completed after the 2010 Census.

In 2004, NIST researchers presented evidence that an isotropic non-crystalline metallic phase ( dubbed " q-glass ") could be grown from the melt.

" Using first-principles X-ray-emission spectral-generation algorithms developed at NIST, I simulated the X-ray spectra that would be expected for Van Assche's initial estimates of the Noddacks ' residue compositions.

Manufacturers can provide calibration services so that new meters may be purchased with a certificate of calibration indicating the meter has been adjusted to standards traceable to, for example, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), or other national standards organization.

A wall clock, for example, might be fast by a few seconds per hour compared to the reference clock at NIST.

Equipment described as " NIST traceable " means that its comparison against master gauges, and their comparison against others, can be traced back through a chain of documentation to equipment in the NIST labs.

However, ANS X9. 52 specifies directly, and NIST SP 800-67 specifies via SP 800-38A that some modes shall only be used with certain constraints on them that do not necessarily apply to general specifications of those modes.

This is not currently practical and NIST considers keying option 1 to be appropriate through 2030.

On January 2, 1997, NIST announced that they wished to choose a successor to DES to be known as AES.

" However, rather than simply publishing a successor, NIST asked for input from interested parties on how the successor should be chosen.

It can be shown that each of the three additional modes specified by the NIST are semantically secure under so-called chosen-plaintext attacks.

Using this guideline, to achieve the 80-bit strength recommended for high security ( non-military ) by NIST, a passphrase would need to be 58 characters long, assuming a composition that includes uppercase and alphanumeric.

Researchers at Yale University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), applying modern engineering design tools to one of the basic units of life, argue that artificial cells could be built that not only replicate the electrical behavior of electric eel cells but in fact improve on them.

OpenSSL is one of the few open source programs to be involved with validation under the FIPS 140-2 computer security standard by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's ( NIST ) Cryptographic Module Validation Program ( CMVP ).

The National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), wrote in a 2009 survey: " There are viable alternatives for both public key encryption and signatures that are not vulnerable to Shor ’ s Algorithm ” and “ Of the various lattice based cryptographic schemes that have been developed, the NTRU family of cryptographic algorithms appears to be the most practical ... smallest key size ... highest performance.

The first picture to be scanned, stored, and recreated in digital pixels was displayed on the Standards Eastern Automatic Computer ( SEAC ) at NIST.
