Secure Software Development Practices for Generative AI and Dual-Use Foundation Models: An SSDF Community Profile

by Harold Booth, Murugiah Souppaya, Apostol Vassilev

About this book

This NIST publication adapts secure software development practices to the development and use of generative AI and foundation models. It adds AI-specific tasks, considerations and references to the Secure Software Development Framework, addressing model producers, developers of systems that incorporate models and organizations acquiring those systems.

The profile organizes its recommendations around preparing the organization, protecting software, producing well-secured software and responding to vulnerabilities. Its central table connects development activities with risks involving training data, models and supporting software, while introductory sections explain how the profile should be used with the underlying framework. References and a glossary complete this original July 2024 technical publication.
