As Federal agencies migrate applications to cloud environments, a major impediment to broader adoption of cloud technologies is the ability to protect information and virtual assets, and to gain enough visibility to ensure that both the agencies and cloud providers are complying with legal and business requirements. To that end, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working with a consortium of technology vendors via its National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) to develop a trusted cloud solution that will demonstrate how trusted compute pools leveraging commercial technologies can provide the necessary security capabilities.

This week, a department called the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at the US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) published the first draft of a security standard that will secure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). BGP is the primary protocol that internet service providers (ISPs), hosting providers, cloud providers, educational, research, and national networks use to send traffic between each other's networks, linking together the small networks that make up the bigger Internet.

It sounds like Greek — derived PIV credentials. But a better approach to managing information on personal identity verification cards can help an ongoing federal challenge, namely how to improve cybersecurity for people using mobile devices. Now the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence has released fresh guidance on so-called derived credentials. Hildegard Ferraiolo, a computer scientist with the Security Components and Mechanisms Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for what it is and how it works.

A proposal for securing BGP – the protocol that lays out the traffic pathways of the internet – has a another backer: NIST, aka America's National Institute for Standards and Technology. The US government agency has issued a discussion paper outlining the use of Route Origin Validation (ROV) to protect the notoriously all-too-trusting Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) from route hijacking.

A new draft publication from the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) takes aim at security concerns about the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the default routing protocol to route traffic among Internet domains. The paper, "Protecting the Integrity of Internet Routing: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Route Origin Validation," is open for public comment until Oct. 15.
