WELCOME TO THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY


ITL’S PURPOSE | CULTIVATING TRUST IN IT AND METROLOGY

The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) is one of NIST’s six research
laboratories. ITL focuses on IT measurements, testing, and standards, and is a
globally recognized and trusted source of high-quality, independent, and
unbiased research and data. ITL’s mission, to cultivate trust in information
technology (IT) and metrology, is accomplished using its world-class measurement
and testing facilities and encompassing a wide range of areas of computer
science, mathematics, statistics, and systems engineering.

This non-regulatory role, along with ITL’s deep technical expertise in all
fields of information technology, helps increase trust in IT worldwide.


ITL NEWSLETTERS

Published bimonthly, the ITL Newsletter features news articles on ITL's
programs, projects, activities, and accomplishments. It announces selected new
ITL publications and describes upcoming technical conferences and workshops.
