Fearless Steps Challenge: Phase 3 Register

Overview

NIST maintained web platform OpenSAT will conduct all evaluation activities. Each participant will register by creating an account on this web platform. This will allow them to perform various activities such as registering for the evaluation and uploading submissions.

After registering and agreeing to the NIST FSC-P3 Terms and Conditions, participants will be able to participate in the Fearless Steps Challenge: Phase 3 (FSC P3). This page contains step-by-step instructions for creating the evaluation account, joining a site and team, selecting tasks, and signing the relevant agreements.

Set up an Account

To sign up for an evaluation account, Please head to OpenSAT Series FSC P3 website and follow the steps below:

Click the “Sign Up” button at the top right corner of the page.
Provide a valid email address and create a password, then click “Sign up”. A confirmation email will then be sent to the provided email address.
Click the “Confirm my account” link in the confirmation email. This will take you to a login page. Log in with our email address and password and click “Log in”. This will take you to the evaluation dashboard, which will display the registration steps.
Please complete the steps in this dashboard to complete account creation and registration.

Create an account on site

After the evaluation account is confirmed, the participant will be asked to join a site (or create one if it does not exist). The participant is also asked to associate their site to a team or to create a team if one does not exist. This allows multiple members to perform activities on behalf of their site and/or team (e.g., make a submission). Clarifying the distinction between participants, sites, and teams:

site – a single organization (e.g., NIST)

team – a group of organizations collaborating on a task (e.g., Team1 consisting of NIST and LDC)

participant – a member or representative of a site who takes part in the evaluation (e.g., John Hansen)
