Cybersecurity in the Smart Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past, the easiest way to attack the electrical grid would have been to physically access and destroy components. However, with the introduction of the smart grid and its increased dependence on information and communication technologies (ICT), the future grid may be vulnerable to pernicious cyber attacks performed remotely. In CRISALIS and SysSec, we are studying the properties of the envisioned smart grid to be able to anticipate and mitigate future attacks against this critical infrastructure.

متن کاملCyber-Physical Device Authentication for the Smart Grid Electric Vehicle Ecosystem
Entity authentication and related key management is an active research topic in smart grid security. But existing works seem to have overlooked the significance that the smart grid is a cyber-physical system, which entails more considerations in the integration of its cyber and physical domains. Ignoring this could possibly undermine security since the effects of cyber authorization in the smar...
