An existing power grid is going through a massive transformation. Smart grid technology is a radical approach for improvisation in prevailing power grid. Integration of electrical and communication infrastructure is inevitable for the deployment of Smart grid network. Smart grid technology is characterized by full duplex communication, automatic metering infrastructure, renewable energy integration, distribution automation and complete monitoring and control of entire power grid. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are small micro electrical mechanical systems which are accomplished to collect and communicate the data from surroundings. WSNs can be used for monitoring and control of smart grid assets. Security of wireless sensor based communication network is a major concern for researchers and developers. The limited processing capabilities of wireless sensor networks make them more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The countermeasures against cyber-attacks must be less complex with an ability to offer confidentiality, data readiness and integrity. The address oriented design and development approach for usual communication network requires a paradigm shift to design data oriented WSN architecture. WSN security is an inevitable part of smart grid cyber security. This paper is expected to serve as a comprehensive assessment and analysis of communication standards, cyber security issues and solutions for WSN based smart grid infrastructure.

“…Due to the inherent limitations of sensor networks, commonly used security mechanisms like key management [4], authentication [5], cryptography [6], etc are hard to implement in these networks. For this very reason, security becomes a crucial issue and these networks face a wide variety of attacks such as denial of service (DoS) attack, wormhole attack, black hole attack, routing table overflow and poisoning attack, packet replication attack, gray hole attack and modification of packets attack etc.…”

“…The protection and privacy of WSN must be treated carefully for smart grid applications which is a broad network comprising of enormous networks and protocols. The public and private security measures for WSN in various smart grid applications require costly solutions [67][68][69]. The cost-security tradeoff must be carefully implemented.…”

“…They are deployed either in fixed manner or in random manner. They are remotely managed and controlled [66][67][68][69].  Communication Constraints: WSNs communicate using radio transmissions and most of them use unlicensed ISM band which is used for many other applications.…”
