The National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-126 Revision 2 “The Technical Specifications for the Security Content Automaton Protocol (SCAP): SCAP Version 1.2” provides the definitive technical specification for version 1.2 of the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). SCAP consists of a suite of specifications for standardizing the format and nomenclature by which information about software flaws and security configurations is communicated, both to machines and humans. This document defines requirements for creating and processing SCAP content. These requirements build on the requirements defined within the individual SCAP component specifications. Each new requirement pertains either to using multiple component specifications together or to further constraining one of the individual component specifications.~

The information infrastructure – comprising computers, embedded devices, networks and software systems – is vital to operations in every sector: chemicals, commercial facilities, communications, critical manufacturing, dams, defense industrial base, emergency services, energy, financial services, food and agriculture, government facilities, healthcare and public health, information technology, nuclear reactors, materials and waste, transportation systems, and water and wastewater systems. Global business and industry, governments, indeed society itself, cannot function if major components of the critical information infrastructure are degraded, disabled or destroyed. Critical Infrastructure Protection XII describes original research results and innovative applications in the interdisciplinary field of critical infrastructure protection. Also, it highlights the importance of weaving science, technology and policy in crafting sophisticated, yet practical, solutions that will help secure information, computer and network assets in the various critical infrastructure sectors. Areas of coverage include: Themes and Issues; Infrastructure Protection; Infrastructure Modeling and Simulation; Industrial Control Systems Security. This book is the twelfth volume in the annual series produced by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.10 on Critical Infrastructure Protection, an international community of scientists, engineers, practitioners and policy makers dedicated to advancing research, development and implementation efforts focused on infrastructure protection. The book contains a selection of fifteen edited papers from the Twelfth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection, held at SRI International, Arlington, Virginia, USA in the spring of 2018. Critical Infrastructure Protection XII is an important resource for researchers, faculty members and graduate students, as well as for policy makers, practitioners and other individuals with interests in homeland security.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post proceedings of two international workshops, the 7th International Workshop on Data Privacy Management, DPM 2012, and the 5th International Workshop on Autonomous and Spontaneous Security, SETOP 2012, held in Pisa, Italy, in September 2012. The volume contains 13 full papers selected out of 31 submissions and 3 keynote lectures from the DPM workshop and 10 papers selected among numerous submissions from the SETOP workshop. The contributions from DPM cover topics from location privacy, citizens' privacy, privacy, authentication with anonymity, privacy in distributed systems, privacy policies, and automated privacy enforcement. The SETOP contributions provide a unique view of ongoing security research work in a number of emerging environments that are becoming part of the global ICT infrastructure, from content-centric to mobile and wireless networks. Also, some of them cover the key role of run-time enforcement in process and service security. The topics of SETOP papers include: security policy deployment; distributed intrusion detection; autonomous and spontaneous response; privacy policies; secure localization; context aware and ubiquitous computing; identity management.
