• Technologies for Improved Homeland Security.
• Through dozens of ongoing and newly initiated research and standards development projects, NIST is helping the millions of individuals in law enforcement, military, science, emergency services, information technology, airport and building security, and other areas protect the American public from terrorist threats.
• Below are examples of NIST projects related to improving Homeland Security.
• Americans depend on information technology (IT) and systems more than ever before, but many IT systems are at risk of being exploited for harmful purposes due to inadequate security. NIST helps secure electronic information through programs that develop national and international standards for IT security and improve awareness of and capabilities for security solutions. ...
• NIST also works with government and industry to establish more secure systems and networks by developing, managing, and promoting security assessment tools, techniques, services, and supporting programs for testing, evaluation, and validation. ...
• In addition, NIST develops guidelines to address topics such as risk management, security program management, certification and accreditation, and security training and awareness. ... For example, NIST, in co-sponsorship with the Small Business Administration and the National Infrastructure Protection Center, and using NIST publications as core materials, holds regional workshops to advise small businesses and not-for-profit organizations on practical tools and techniques that can help them assess, enhance, and maintain the security of their systems. ...
• The widespread use of IT for remote monitoring and control of the electric power system and for controlling industrial processes in the oil and gas, water, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, pulp and paper, and other industries, has unintentionally introduced security vulnerabilities. NIST is working with companies and industry organizations to identify the types of vulnerabilities that exist and develop security requirements for the real-time systems that control the power grid and critical industrial production processes. A Process Control Security Requirements Forum has been established to identify and assess threats and risks to process control information and functions, make and promote the adoption of security requirements recommendations, and promote security awareness and integration of security considerations in the life cycle of electric power and industrial process control systems. ...
• NIST also is working with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the International Electrotechnical Commission, and the Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society to incorporate security requirements into the standards relevant to electric power and industrial control systems. ...
• Several additional federal agencies—including the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Bureau of Prisons—and dozens of state and local law enforcement and corrections agencies contributed ideas to the project.
• This database is essential for rapidly identifying specific chemical threats in real time, at airport security checkpoints, for example. ...
• This work is being extended to include the specific biometric systems and scenarios required for visa systems under the Patriot Act, as amended by the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act. ...
• This program will produce standard measurements of accuracy for biometric systems, standard XML-based scoring software, and accuracy measurements for specific biometrics required for the system scenarios mandated under the Border Security Act. This work will have wide impact beyond the mandated systems; standard test methods are likely to be accepted as international standards, and discussions are under way concerning the use of these same standards for airport security. ...

• Airport security in the United States is now provided by the Transportation Security Administration of the Department of Homeland Security. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act required that from 19 November 2002 all passenger screening must be conducted by Federal employees. Prior to that date, passenger screening was provided by security guard companies. Some people think that private security companies in America are not able to provide the same service level as US Federal employees. It was not uncommon that the lowest-paid employee in the airport was a security guard ( 1 ) .
