The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a non-regulatory federal agency within the US Commerce Department. It is promulgates standards which much be met to reach inclusion into obtaining cross signing to be able to provide a complete validation path route to root. It manages the FIPS standards which must be met for a CA to be able to interoperate with the US federal CA, which, as a functional matter, is needed for attaining such a path http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/crypto_apps_infra/pki/index.html see: FIPS 151-2 testing and certification http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html
