Standards for LLM Security

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a recognized authority on computer security that publishes guidelines and standards for a broad range of technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). The guidelines include the requirement for LLM decision-making transparency, explainability, testing, and validation to guarantee model reliability and security. Moreover, the NIST has also created standards for cryptography, a critical element of many LLM-based applications, such as secure communication and data encryption. The cryptography standards help ensure that LLM-based applications are secure and resilient against attacks by malicious entities. NIST standards can provide a practical framework for secure and ethical LLM-based application development and deployment. By adhering to these standards, developers and organizations can increase the confidence that their LLM-based applications are dependable, trustworthy, and resistant to attacks.
