“…Ventuneac et al (2003) proposed policies for authentication, access control, security management, identity administration, and accountability. Kokai et al (1997) surveyed SCADA systems based on the open system concept from the supplier and user point of view. The authors remarked that system security could be a problem for an open system and suggested using gateways to improve security.…”

PurposeSupervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are widely used by utility companies during the production and distribution of oil, gas, chemicals, electric power, and water to control and monitor these operations. A cyber attack on a SCADA system cannot only result in a major financial disaster but also in devastating damage to public safety and health. The purpose of this paper is to survey the literature on the cyber security of SCADA systems and then suggest two categories of security solutions.Design/methodology/approachThe paper proposes the use of secure socket layer/transport layer security (SSL/TLS) and IP security (IPsec) solutions, implemented on the test‐bed at the University of Louisville, as the optimal choices when considering the level of security a solution can provide and the difficulty of implementing such a security measure. The paper analyzes these two solution choices, discuss their advantages and disadvantages, and present details on efficient ways of implementing these solutions.FindingsThe SSL/TLS solution to the protocol security using public domain toolkits such as OpenSSL may provide a fast, effective, and economical solution. However, the SSL/TLS protocol and its implementation toolkits have their limitations so this approach may need another enhancement.Practical implicationsIPsec can be used to provide IP‐level security in addition to SSL/TLS.Originality/valueThe use of these enhanced security approaches in SCADA systems should effectively reduce the vulnerability of these critical systems to malicious cyber attacks, and thereby potentially avoiding the serious consequences of such attacks.

“…In fact Energy Management System -EMS -currently installed in transmission systems cannot directly migrate to distribution networks. In distribution systems they were installed SCADA systems in a first moment and recently they started to be upgraded leading to Distribution Management Systems -DMS, [2].…”

In this paper, we present a prototype of a DMS -Distribution Management System -using Object Oriented technology and a modular distributed multitask client-server architecture. The DMS is supported by an Object Oriented model in which the power system components are considered objects grouped in several classes according to their characteristics. The power system applications are software modules within this base platform that is physically located in a WEB server and are implemented in Java or C++. The users should connect to an HTML page in the server, download the desired applet to the client's machine establishing communication, interfaces and requesting services to the main system. The paper gives a global overview of the system, describes its architecture, gives details about the Database organization and describes the main characteristics and features of some power system applications as Topology Processor, Single Phase Power Flow and Symmetric Short Circuit.
