Knowledge base from NIST SP 800-160 Vol 1 (Engineering Trustworthy Secure Systems) and Vol 2 (Developing Cyber-Resilient Systems). Use for systems security engineering (SSE): the three SSE framework contexts (problem/solution/trustworthiness), the 30+ design principles for trustworthy secure design, trustworthiness and assurance/assurance cases, security across the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 life-cycle process groups, and the Vol 2 cyber-resiliency engineering framework — 4 goals…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- argument-hint: [SSE context, design principle, trustworthiness/assurance, life-cycle process, cyber-resiliency goal/objective/technique/approach, APT, chapter number] -->

# NIST SP 800-160 — Systems Security Engineering (Vol 1 + Vol 2)
**Source**: NIST (US Government work, public domain) | **Chapters**: 8

## When to use
Use this skill to engineer security *into* a system rather than bolt it on: framing the security problem/solution/trustworthiness, applying the design principles for trustworthy secure design, building a defensible assurance case, integrating security across the system life cycle, and — for systems that must survive a capable adversary — applying cyber-resiliency goals, objectives, techniques, and approaches. This is the security-engineering bridge between systems engineering (15288/NASA/DoD SE) and the NIST security frameworks (`nist-csf`, `nist-ssdf`, RMF).

**Prerequisites:** none — plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

## How to Use This Skill
- **Without arguments** — load the core frameworks below: the SSE three-context framework, design principles, trustworthiness/assurance, and the cyber-resiliency framework.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/nist-sse@sha256:2f52b0928b1576d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.ef1bdff, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
