The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has launched a crowdsourcing challenge to spur new methods to ensure that important public safety data sets can be de-identified to protect individual privacy. The Differential Privacy Temporal Map Challenge includes a series of contests that will award a total of up to $276,000 for differential privacy solutions for complex data sets that include information on both time and location.
NIST unveiled the final version of its Zero Trust Architecture publication, which gives private sector organizations a road map for deploying the cybersecurity concept across the organization.
Congressman Andy Barr (KY-06) introduced the NIST COVID-19 Cyber-Security Act, which instructs the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to produce standards for mitigating and protecting against cyberattacks to American universities researching COVID-19.
A preliminary study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) evaluates the performance of facial recognition algorithms on faces partially covered by protective masks.
In an effort to enable public safety-focused entities to tap social media analytics in emergency response, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Text Retrieval Conference, or TREC, Incident Streams project intends to gain access to Twitter’s Enterprise-Level application programming interface, or API.
