The National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) issued the FIPS 140 Publication Series to coordinate the requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) issues the 140 Publication Series to coordinate the requirements and standards for cryptographic modules which include both hardware and software components for use by departments and agencies of the United States federal government.

The IDEF0 standard, Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 183 ( FIPS 183 ), and the IDEF1x standard ( FIPS 184 ) are maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ).

* FIPS Publication 183 released of IDEFØ December 1993 by the Computer Systems Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ).

In English-language technical literature in geology, the term ' Ma ' is preferred, as this conforms to ISO 31-1 and NIST 811 recommended practices.

NIST SP 800-18, Revision 1, Guide for Developing Security Plans for Federal Information Systems provides guidance on determining system boundaries.

The guidelines are provided by NIST SP 800-60 " Guide for Mapping Types of Information and Information Systems to Security Categories.

The certification and accreditation process is defined in NIST SP 800-37 " Guide for the Security Certification and Accreditation of Federal Information Systems ".

The U. S. government used the term " personally identifiable " in 2007 in a memorandum from the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ), and that usage now appears in US standards such as the NIST Guide to Protecting the Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information ( SP 800-122 ).

The Advanced Encryption Standard ( AES ) is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) in 2002.

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

* NIST Computational Chemistry Comparison and Benchmark DataBase-Contains a database of thousands of computational and experimental results for hundreds of systems

In 1972, after concluding a study on the US government's computer security needs, the US standards body NBS ( National Bureau of Standards ) — now named NIST ( National Institute of Standards and Technology ) — identified a need for a government-wide standard for encrypting unclassified, sensitive information.

On 19 May 2005, FIPS 46-3 was officially withdrawn, but NIST has approved Triple DES through the year 2030 for sensitive government information.

In 2008, NIST eliminated several other FIPS code standards, including those for countries ( FIPS 10-4 ), U. S. states ( FIPS 5-2 ), and counties ( FIPS 6-4 ).

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) notes that: " The international nautical mile of 1 852 meters ( 6 076. 115 49 ... feet ) was adopted effective July 1, 1954, for use in the United States.

This position is endorsed by other standards organizations including the IEEE, the International Committee for Weights and Measures ( CIPM ) and the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), but the binary prefixes have seen limited acceptance.

By the end of 2007, standards and government authorities including IEC, IEEE, EU, and NIST proposed standards for binary prefixes and requiring the use of megabyte to strictly denote 1000 < sup > 2 </ sup > bytes and mebibyte to denote 1024 < sup > 2 </ sup > bytes.

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.

The NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology vulnerabilities database, US-CERT, rates traditional mainframes such as IBM zSeries, Unisys Dorado and Unisys Libra as among the most secure with vulnerabilities in the low single digits as compared with thousands for Windows, Linux and Unix.

NIST had an operating budget for fiscal year 2007 ( October 1, 2006-September 30, 2007 ) of about $ 843. 3 million.

NIST publishes the Handbook 44 that provides the " Specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements for weighing and measuring devices ".

* NIST Center for Neutron Research ( NCNR )

NIST also operates a neutron science user facility: the NIST Center for Neutron Research ( NCNR ).

NIST is currently developing government-wide identification card standards for federal employees and contractors to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to government buildings and computer systems.

NIST also established a research and development program to provide the technical basis for improved building and fire codes, standards, and practices, and a dissemination and technical assistance program to engage leaders of the construction and building community in implementing proposed changes to practices, standards, and codes.

NIST works in conjunction with the Technical Guidelines Development Committee of the Election Assistance Commission to develop the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines for voting machines and other election technology.

Three researchers at NIST have been awarded Nobel Prizes for their work in Physics: William D. Phillips in 1997, Eric A. Cornell in 2001, John L. Hall in 2005, which is the largest number for any US government laboratory.
