Certain commercial entities, equipment, or materials may be identified in this document in order to describe an experimental procedure or concept adequately. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST, nor is it intended to imply that the entities, materials, or equipment are necessarily the best available for the purpose.There may be references in this publication to other publications currently under development by NIST in accordance with its assigned statutory responsibilities. The information in this publication, including concepts and methodologies, may be used by federal agencies even before the completion of such companion publications. Thus, until each publication is completed, current requirements, guidelines, and procedures, where they exist, remain operative. For planning and transition purposes, federal agencies may wish to closely follow the development of these new publications by NIST.Organizations are encouraged to review all draft publications during public comment periods and provide feedback to NIST.

“…To identify these devices, device administrators will need to obtain information about their prospective or current devices. A device administrator can use this information to decide whether a device has most of their required features, which may be prioritized by usability and security capabilities [18].…”

“…Most devices require secure configuration to allow an organization to configure to their specific needs (e.g., authentication and encryption requirements). When applying security, public safety device administrators should consider both usability and security [18]. Usability and security are both very important to public safety officials.…”
