Even though technical solutions for security problems are widespread, there are no adequate security measures against precarious user behavior. Even if hashing and encrypting are used correctly in masking the passwords, attackers can bypass these strong points by going for the weakest link. Most likely, this will happen through sharing a password, using an already leaked password, or creating a feasibly guessable password (Olmstead &…
Learn MoreCSIAC hosts live online technical presentations featuring a DoD research and engineering topic within our technical focus areas.
Extended reality (XR) is an all-encompassing term that groups three similar technologies: (1) virtual reality (VR), (2) augmented reality (AR), and (3) mixed reality (MR). While XR is a field that has been in development in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) since the late 1960s, it has continued to see major advancements in recent…
Reliability of a military system refers to its ability to complete a specific mission without failure. Failure modes in traditional acquisition systems often involve hardware, software, and human-systems integration. These failure modes are generally well-understood and can be mitigated early in design. As artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous products are incorporated in military systems, mission…
Last fall, the Army Acquisition Workforce (AAW) was introduced to the digital foundations pathway with Udemy—three online courses designed to digitally upskill workforce members in preparation for the digital transformation of the Army. (See “Serving the Digital Soup” in the Fall 2023 issue of Army AL&T.) The Army Director of Acquisition Career Management (DACM) Office spent…
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is launching a new testing, evaluation, validation, and verification (TEVV) program intended to help improve understanding of artificial intelligence’s capabilities and impacts. Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI (ARIA) aims to help organizations and individuals determine whether a given AI technology will be valid, reliable, safe, secure,…
