The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is at the forefront of developing these guidelines. These standards provide organizations with a practical framework for successfully implementing the nuances of digital identity. NIST aims to strike a crucial balance: robust security measures and a seamless, positive user experience. This balancing...
Federal agencies have a hard enough time already trying to develop a strong digital identity system. These systems often sit at the nexus of security, risk-based management, and user experience. Ryan Galluzzo, the digital identity lead for the Applied Cybersecurity Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),...
NIST's work is vital. We all know that. The requirement to safeguard sensitive data while ensuring it remains accessible is critical, particularly with the constant wave of cyberattacks. Here's the question that keeps me up at night: Is this balance truly achievable? Are we, in pursuit of a marginally improved...
Is NIST’s new guidance on identity security truly forging the path toward a more secure digital future? Or is it simply another episode of tech buzzword bingo doomed to sink straight to the bottom? As someone who's spent years navigating the exciting, and sometimes treacherous, waters of DeFi and NFTs,...
We've all heard the tales. The whole country gets a shimmering pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, courtesy of that same devious leprechaun. It's a beautiful story, isn't it? A beacon of opportunity, of overnight wealth, of riding the lucky streak. If we’re being truthful, how many...
NFTs, aka non-fungible tokens, have been taking the world by storm. Most people associate NFTs with expensive digital art and collectibles. These digital assets hold the potential to transform the economy and every sector on it. Calloutcoin.com explores the exciting and sometimes bizarre world of NFTs. We help separate fact...
Let's be blunt: the NFT gold rush feels like a distant memory. We witnessed the speculative mania, the million-dollar profile picture NFTs, and the quaint talk of a new decentralized world. Now that the dust has settled, it's time to pull back the curtain and ask a crucial question: are...
Now, picture having that happen, as you awaken, with no electricity. Not in a brief temporary outage, but in a long-extended blackout paralyzing hospitals, blocking transportation, and predisposing communities to disasters. This is not some dystopian fantasy, it’s a present danger. Our increasing dependence on decentralized, physical infrastructure networks, or...
The dirty little secret about DePINs though? They’re sitting ducks. All that new decentralized infrastructure, humming away, is ripe for attack as anyone can spoof an admin account and cause chaos. We’re not talking about just theoretical doomsday scenarios – but real-world consequences like compromised energy grids, hijacked sensor networks...
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) are changing the way we think about managing physical infrastructure by combining blockchain technology with decentralized, web-enabled IoT devices. These networks are decentralized and dependent on a web of connected IoT devices. Yet they have unique challenges in securing these qualities of security and accountability....
Hello blockchain and crypto enthusiasts! Jason back again, bringing you even more dank insights from Calloutcoin.com. Today, we're diving deep into a critical area for the future of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs): security. As DePINs expand to maintain more real-world infrastructure, making sure their networks are cyber threats robust...
For any online journalism venture in the fast-paced digital media environment, sustainability lies in creative thinking. One unexpected player is stepping into the ring with a novel approach: a Facebook group is using Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to publish its articles. This step is more than just a creative publicity stunt....
