Smart Grid Attacks and Countermeasures
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks and Intelligent Systems - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The term “Smart Grid” has been coined and used for several years to describe the efforts of the current power grid modernization effort. This effort plans to introduce self-healing, energy efficiency, reliability, and security using two-way digital communications and control technology, along with a host of other valuable attributes. As a bi-product of this modernization and newly gained systems interoperability, new communications and management interfaces are produced in both the cyber realm and physical domains. The increase of the public physical presence and cyber footprint opens up avenues for compromise to hackers and individuals with malicious intent. This survey paper will categorize and summarize vulnerabilities in the framework of the current power grid and the software and hardware which is currently being used to upgrade the grid. The paper will also detail known countermeasures which can be used to mitigate or eliminate attacks which exploit such vulnerabilities.

Energy Efficient Dual Issue Embedded Processor
While energy efficiency is essential to extend the battery life of embedded devices, performance cannot be ignored. High performance superscalar embedded processors are more energy efficient than low performance scalar p...
How to Make Business Processes “Socialize”?
This paper presents an approach that builds upon social computing principles to make business processes “socialize”. First the approach identifies the main components of a business process that are task, person, and mach...
Comparative Study on Power Gating Techniques for Lower Power Delay Product, Smaller Power Loss, Faster Wakeup Time
The power gating is one of the most popular reduction leakage techniques. We make comparison among various power gating schemes in terms of power delay product, energy loss, and wake-up time using the 45-nm Predictive Te...
An Application of SMC to continuous validation of heterogeneous systems.
This paper considers the rigorous design of Systems of Systems (SoS), i.e. systems composed of a set of heterogeneous components whose number evolves with time. Such components cooperate to accomplish functions that they...
