Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Smart Energy Grid Security
2014Co-Authors: Klaus Kursawe, Benessa DefendAbstract:It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd Smart Energy Grid Security (SEGS) Workshop. SEGS 2014 aims to foster innovative research and discussion about smart energy Grid Security and privacy challenges, approaches, and solutions. SEGS'14 takes places in Scottsdale, Arizona, in conjunction with ACM CCS 2014. In the last year, the digitalization of the power Grids has been pushed further, with an increasing number of countries engaging in large scale rollouts of smart Grid components. While the topic of Security is getting more attention, we still face insufficient understanding and communication between the electricity sector and the Security community. Given the long lifetime of the systems deployed now, and the fact that the first large scale attacks have already been seen, increasing this communication and working towards applicable solutions is more important than ever before. In spite of the growing number of events and conferences focusing on the digital Grid, the gap in the Security research community specially addressing smart Grids is still wide, and many of the systems rolled out now have a wealth of unaddressed Security issues. This workshop aims to fill that void and encourage more research into the area of smart Grid Security by providing a forum for Security researchers to present their work. This workshop serves as an opportunity to foster collaboration between the power industry and the ACM CCS research community. The scope of the workshop encompasses all aspects of the smart Grid, including distribution, transmission, generation, metering, e-mobility, and integration of distributed energy resources. SEGS publications offer perspectives from both academia and industry, and present novel research on theoretical and practical aspects of smart Grid Security and privacy, including design, analysis, experimentation, and fielded systems. SEGS also aims for the integration of other communities, such as law, economics, and HCI, which present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. We hope that the workshop will provide the participants with the opportunity to share ideas and practical experience, and will result in progress towards more resilient power systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST The SEGS Workshop focuses on the following topics: Smart Grid architectures and models Smart Grid networks and communication Security and dependability in safetycritical, real-time systems Data protection and privacy Grid management Trust and assurance Intrusion detection and monitoring on smart Grids Algorithms and protocols for critical infrastructures Risk and threat analysis SmartGrid standards, testing, andcertification Testbeds and field trials Usability and legal issues on Grid Security Cloud computing and smart Grids

EGC - Threat model for Grid Security services
Advances in Grid Computing - EGC 2005, 2005Co-Authors: Syed Naqvi, Michel RiguidelAbstract:The Grid computing paradigm involves both the availability of abundant computing resources, and the storage of increased amounts of valuable data. Such information systems heavily rely upon the provision of adequate Security. It is imperative that techniques be developed to assure the trustworthiness of these environments. Formal verification provides the tools and techniques to assess whether systems are indeed trustworthy, and is an established approach for Security assurance. When using formal verification for Security assessment one of the most important concerns should be to be precise about the threat model. A comprehensive threat model is indispensable for the simulations of a Grid Security model. This article presents a survey of the various threat models and discusses how and when these threat models may be inappropriate for use in the Grid computing environments. Then a fine-grained threat model for Grid computing is presented.

e-Science - Grid Security Services Simulator (G3S) - a simulation tool for the design and analysis of Grid Security solutions
First International Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing (e-Science'05), 1Co-Authors: Syed Naqvi, Michel RiguidelAbstract:Security services are one of the most desirable characteristics of the computational Grids. Nowadays the swelling number of applications and consequent increase in the amount of critical data over the Grids have considerably raised the stakes for an efficient Security architecture. Establishing Security solutions for computational Grid remains in its initial stages, as there are a number of impediments in the way of successful implementation of these Security designs on a real Grid. Absence of suitable mechanism to simulate the various functionalities of Grid Security models is a major concern for Security designers. A reliable simulator for the Grid Security services is indispensable so that the Grid Security solutions can be adequately tested before their implementation on a real Grid. The available range of Grid simulators does not provide any support for the Security functions. This vacuity has overwhelmingly motivated us to develop the Grid Security Services Simulator (G3S)

GCC - A hybrid machine learning/statistical model of Grid Security
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004Co-Authors: Guang Xiang, Xiaomei Dong, Lina WangAbstract:Most current Grid Security techniques concentrate on traditional Security aspects such as authentication, authorization, etc. While they have shown their usefulness, the significance of the information hidden in the historical data corpus denoting the user-Grid interactions has been largely neglected. In fact, such information provide great insight into Grid Security and if properly harnessed, will help better protect the Grid against potential attacks.

A hybrid machine learning/statistical model of Grid Security
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004Co-Authors: Guang Xiang, Xiaomei Dong, Lina WangAbstract:Most current Grid Security techniques concentrate on traditional Security aspects such as authentication, authorization, etc. While they have shown their usefulness, the significance of the information hidden in the historical data corpus denoting the user-Grid interactions has been largely neglected. In fact, such information provide great insight into Grid Security and if properly harnessed, will help better protect the Grid against potential attacks. To utilize these hidden information in a service-oriented Grid environment, we propose a hybrid machine learning and statistical model. The machine learning component predicts the Security of a service by considering the probability distribution of the past services, while the statistical component evaluates a service's Security statistically based on its own past behaviors and users' opinions. We construct an overall architecture based on this hybrid model and demonstrate through examples its effectiveness and potential to offer stronger Security to the Grid.

Smart Grid Security
Smart Grid Security, 2015Co-Authors: R.w. Griffin, Sonia PortaAbstract:Assuming we have a robust architecture for Smart Grid Security and have put in place defensive mechanisms designed to thwart intentional attacks and inadvertent exposure or loss of data, how do we discover and recover from attacks, losses and Security failures that elude those defensive mechanisms? This chapter presents an operational model for effective management of Security capabilities that enables discovery of Security issues, analysis of those issues to determine whether and how to respond, and remediation or recovery for those issues that require action to be taken.

Establishing a Smart Grid Security Architecture
Smart Grid Security, 2015Co-Authors: R.w. Griffin, Lucie LangerAbstract:Abstract The chapters in this book discuss a range of issues that are important in establishing an effective Security architecture for a Smart Grid environment. These issues include the role of architecture within a secure development lifecycle, as well as the particular importance of technologies such as Security analytics and device identification. This chapter brings together this and other information to discuss the process of establishing a Security architecture for a particular Smart Grid environment, as well as several aspects of the architecture that are not yet well-developed in such industry standard reference architectures as NISTIR 7628. The chapter then continues by discussing the process of applying the resulting architecture in designing and implementing a Smart Grid Security solution.
