      Consider replacing the URLs with the more robust DOIs for both documents.

      PS: It's really nice to be able to suggest an improvement as opposed to correcting URLs. Thanks.

      Description

      1.2 Normative References reads in part:

      *****
      [NIST800-63-2] NIST Special Publication 800-63-2, Electronic Authentication Guideline, August 2013. http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-63-2.pdf.

      [NIST800-162] NIST Special Publication 800-162, Guide to Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Definition and Considerations, January 2014. http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/specialpublications/NIST.sp.800-162.pdf
      *****

      The URLs are correct but both documents provide DOI locators on their covers and in the long term, DOIs are more robust than direct URLs.

      It's not an error to use the correct URL but better practice to use DOIs when available.

      For these two publications:

      [NIST800-63-2] NIST Special Publication 800-63-2, Electronic Authentication Guideline, August 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-63-2

      [NIST800-162] NIST Special Publication 800-162, Guide to Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Definition and Considerations, January 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-162
