Guide for security-focused configuration management of information systems

Abstract

This publication has been developed by NIST to further its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, 44 U.S.C. § 3551 et seq., Public Law (P.L.) 113-283. 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. 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. Attribution would, however, be appreciated by NIST.

Recommendations for IoT Device 2 Manufacturers:

“…• Configuration is "the possible conditions, parameters, and specifications with which an information system or system component can be described or arranged." [23] The Device Configuration capability does not define which configuration settings should exist, simply that a mechanism to manage configuration settings exists.…”

Research on iris image encryption based on deep learning

“…The rapid development of information technology, the increasing need for information security transmission, and the biometric-related technology are developing rapidly. Human biometrics refer to the information features produced by human tissue structure, including the iris [2][3][4], face [1,5], fingerprint [6][7][8], voice [9][10][11], DNA [12][13][14], and palm postures [15]. The biological characteristics of human body are widely used in identity recognition and other fields because of their uniqueness.…”
