چکیده

Cyber attacks on critical infrastructure have been an issue of importance in industry over the past several years, as well as a focus of academic research. Cyber attacks of various types and magnitude have been on the rise targeted specifically at power grids. A successful attack on the power grid could result in significant impacts including grid shutdown, cascading failures, damage to the infrastructure, and potential harm to people. Power grid infrastructure are critical in nature; they enable operations for residential, commercial, industrial, and government users across critical infrastructure such as water, communication, banking, transportation, manufacturing, and more. The compromise of these operations introduces threats, which span from economic to public safety. The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is now being rapidly deployed throughout the power grid, and is an enabling technology for smart grid. Identifying the attack surface is a necessary step in achieving cyber security in smart grids and AMI. The purpose of this paper is to quantify and examine the cyber attack surface of AMI in order to lay the foundation for mitigating approaches to AMI cyber security. Keywords— AMI Security, Power grid, Critical Infrastructure, Attack Surface

An ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication.  This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

An Effective Attack-Resilient Kalman Filter-Based Approach for Dynamic State Estimation of Synchronous Machine

Kalman filtering has been widely considered for dynamic state estimation in smart grids. Despite its unique merits, the Kalman Filter (KF)-based dynamic state estimation can be undesirably influenced by cyber adversarial attacks that can potentially be launched against the communication links in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). To enhance the security of KF-based state estimation, in this paper...
