Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid | |
The Smart Grid has the potential to revolutionize electricity delivery systems, and the security of its infrastructure is a vital concern not only for cyber-security practitioners, engineers, policy makers, and utility executives, but also for the media and consumers. Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid explores the important techniques, challenges, and forces that will shape how we achieve a secure twenty-first century electric grid.
Includes a Foreword by Michael Assante, President and CEO, National Board of Information Security Examiners
Following an overview of the components of the Smart Grid, the book delves into the evolution of security standards and regulations and examines ways in which the Smart Grid might be regulated. The authors discuss the technical details about how metering technology is being implemented and the likely threats and vulnerabilities that utilities will face. They address the home area network (HAN) and examine distribution and transmission—the foundation for the delivery of electricity, along with distributed generation, micro-grids, and operations.
The book explores future concepts—such as energy storage and the use of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs)—in addition to the concomitant risk for fraud and manipulation with stored energy. Consumer-related issues are discussed as they pertain to emerging ways of receiving and generating energy. The book examines dysfunctions ranging from inadvertent outages to cyber-attack and presents recommendations on how to respond to these incidents. It concludes with speculation of future cyber-security challenges and discusses new ways that the grid can be defended, such as better key management and protection.
Written in a style rigorous enough for the practitioner yet accessible to a broad audience, this comprehensive volume covers a topic that is becoming more critical to industry and consumers everywhere.

Often the applications of new technology that have the greatest promise are accompanied by the greatest hype. The smart grid is a case in point. Roughly defined, a smart grid is a digitally enabled electrical grid that gathers, distributes, and acts on information about the behavior of suppliers and consumers in order to improve the efficiency, reliability, and economics of electricity services.
In Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid, authors Gilbert Sorebo and Michael Echols do an excellent job of providing the reader with a comprehensive overview of what the smart grid is, what the security and privacy risks are, and ways in which to mitigate those risks. They never downplay the security risks, and they offer pragmatic ways in which consumers and utilities can best use smart grid technologies in a secure manner.
Chapter three details a major security challenge of the smart grid, namely securing the smart meter. A smart meter is the final point in a smart grid; it records consumption of electric energy and sends the data to the utility. Smart meters today are not always adequately secured.
The next chapter explains the notion of a HAN, or home area network. This is the network for communication between digital devices in the home and the utility. Once again, this is a concept that provides a lot of potential, but is a technology in need of good security and privacy controls. The book details what utilities and consumers need to do to ensure that there are no breaches.
For those looking to get a handle on how to secure the evolving and dynamic smart grid, Smart Grid Security: An End-to-End View of Security in the New Electrical Grid is an excellent reference.
