Cyber Labeling Research Initiative: Consumer Sample Labels and Form

Sandia Energy > Programs > Electric Grid > Cyber and Physical Security > Cyber Labeling Research Initiative > Cyber Labeling Research Initiative: Consumer Sample Labels and Form

In this mockup, we consider a label output including two primary components.

  • A consumer may see a physical sticker on a product or product manual, indicating that the vendor has provided product data for the informational privacy and security fact sheet.
  • Upon scanning the QR code or typing in the URL, a consumer could review the information provided by the vendor at two levels of detail (condensed and expanded) online.

Reviewing the Sample Labels

As you review the label mockup, please keep the following research assumptions in mind: 

  1. Producing and receiving a label is not equivalent to a seal of approval for security. Rather, a label of this type promotes transparency and due diligence. Any further assumptions drawn about the security of the product based on information in the label are subject to the interpretation of the consumer.
  2. A label would be hosted online and updated virtually by the vendor/author. Data
    fields may be updated at any time.
  3. Any printed label would have a QR code or URL pointing to the virtually hosted data sheet. Minimal immutable information (such as product name and model number) may be included on a physical label.
