The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), part of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), is building a nationwide public safety broadband network to provide first responders with access to 21st century communication technology that improves safety and security. But how do you make sure the network only helps the good guys? The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published an analysis of how a public safety broadband network can be secured so that only approved first responders and public safety personnel can access it.
