There exist numerous adaptive security and privacy (S&P) solutions to manage potential threats at runtime. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive assessment framework that can holistically validate their effectiveness. Existing Adaptive S&P assessment efforts either focus on privacy or security in general, or are focused on specific adaptive S&P attributes, e.g. authentication, and, at certain times, disregards the architecture in which they should be comprehended. In this paper, we propose a holistic assessment framework for evaluating adaptive S&P solutions for IoT e-health. The framework utilizes a proposed classification of essential attributes necessary to be recognized, evaluated, and incorporated for the effectiveness of adaptive S&P solutions for the most common IoT architectures, fog-based and cloud/server-based architectures. As opposed to the existing related work, the classification comprehensively covers all the major classes of essential attributes, such as S&P objectives, contextual factors, adaptation action aptitude, and the system's self-* properties. Using this classification, the framework assists to evaluate the existence of a given attribute with respect to the adaptation process and in the context of the architectural layers. Therefore, it stresses the importance of where an essential attribute should be realized in the adaptation phases and in the architecture for an adaptive S&P solution to be effective. We have also presented a comparison of the proposed assessment framework with existing related frameworks and have shown that it exhibits substantial completeness over the existing works to assess the feasibility of a given adaptive S&P solution.

“…A possible protective measure to increase SG security and privacy could be achieved by increasing the capacity available to update network configuration and monitoring during operations. Software engineering approaches to handle SG security and privacy issues are discussed in [107]. Also, an agent based protective scheme is presented in [108] to handle different types of cyber-attacks on SG.…”

The successful transformation of conventional power grids into Smart Grids (SG) will require robust and scalable communication network infrastructure. The SGs will facilitate bidirectional electricity flow, advanced load management, a self-healing protection mechanism and advanced monitoring capabilities to make the power system more energy efficient and reliable. In this paper SG communication network architectures, standardization efforts and details of potential SG applications are identified. The future deployment of real-time or near-real-time SG applications is dependent on the introduction of a SG compatible communication system that includes a communication protocol for cross-domain traffic flows within the SG. This paper identifies the challenges within the cross-functional domains of the power and communication systems that current research aims to overcome. The status of SG related machine to machine communication system design is described and recommendations are provided for diverse new and innovative traffic features.

“…In , an MRAC and a quaternion‐based adaptive attitude control are introduced to detect and isolate faults, in which, severe additive actuator faults to verify the performance of the controller are implemented. In , an adaptive security and privacy scheme to prevent the threats and vulnerabilities while using smart grids is proposed. Even though this paper proposes an adaptive technique to solve the vulnerabilities in smart grids, the application is more focused on the protection data and personal information of the smart grid users and not in the development of control strategies for the physical components in smart grids.…”

Summary This paper presents new design methodology and performance comparison of two hybrid fault‐tolerant control (FTC) schemes applied to the regulation of the frequency and voltage amplitude of a diesel engine generator installed in a microgrid. Both of them are based on a unique combination of a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) with a proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controller and artificial intelligence techniques, i.e. artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA). Since in an islanded microgrid, the frequency of the system is determined by the shaft speed of the diesel engine (DE), while the voltage amplitude is set by the synchronous generator (SG) field voltage, therefore, two FTC systems for frequency and voltage regulation have been implemented in each proposed control scheme. The first scheme consists of an MRAC system with a PID controller tuned by a GA for controlling the speed of the DE and a classic MRAC system for controlling the voltage amplitude of the SG. In the second scheme, an MRAC system with a GA‐tuned PID controller is used for the DE, and a hybrid controller in which the MRAC is combined with an ANN and a PID controller tuned by a GA is designed for the SG. The dynamic models of the microgrid components are presented in detail, and the proposed microgrid and its FTC systems are implemented and tested in the Simpower Systems of MATLAB/Simulink® simulation environment. All results indicate high effectiveness and robustness of the MRAC‐based FTC schemes in both normal and emergency/faulty operations of the microgrid in comparison with a benchmark baseline controller, IEEE Type 1 AVR for the SG and a PID controlled governor for the DE.
