Abstract

This publication has been developed by NIST to further its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Public Law (P.L.) 107-347.NIST is responsible for developing information security standards and guidelines, including minimum requirements for Federal information systems, but such standards and guidelines shall not apply to national security systems without the express approval of appropriate Federal officials exercising policy authority over such systems.This guideline is consistent with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Section 8b(3), Securing Agency Information Systems, as analyzed in Circular A-130, Appendix IV: Analysis of Key Sections.Supplemental information is provided in Circular A-130, Appendix III, Security of Federal Automated Information Resources.Nothing in this publication should be taken to contradict the standards and guidelines made mandatory and binding on Federal agencies by the Secretary of Commerce under statutory authority.Nor should these guidelines be interpreted as altering or superseding the existing authorities of the Secretary of Commerce, Director of the OMB, or any other Federal official.This publication may be used by nongovernmental organizations on a voluntary basis and is not subject to copyright in the United States.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Integrity of audit logs produced by IoT devices is a prerequisite for post-incident forensics, regulatory compliance, and operational accountability.

    “When these logs serve as evidence in forensic investigations, compliance audits, or incident-response workflows, their integrity is not merely desirable; it is a hard prerequisite (Kebande and Venter, 2017; Cichonski et al., 2012; Kent et al., 2006; International Organization for Standardization, 2012).”
  • The standards serve as frameworks to develop secure networks and can be used as guides and best practice definitions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
