Abstract-IEEE C37.118 is the current standard for synchrophasor measurements in power systems. It defines the measurement method and communication protocols for the entities in a synchrophasor network. The standard offers two different modes for client-server communication, but cannot be used unchanged over publish/subscribe communication architectures, whose major advantage is simplified and incremental integration of new applications. This work reviews the communication part of IEEE C37.118, and provides an adapter-based solution to easily connect and integrate entities in a synchrophasor network over a publish/subscribe communication architecture. The proposed adapters offer standard-compliant communication between the synchrophasor measurement network entities to facilitate the exchange of measurement data.

Information-centric networking for machine-to-machine data delivery: a case study in smart grid applications

et al. 2014

he rationale behind information-centric networking (ICN) [1] is that information consumers are mainly interested in the information itself rather than the explicit network location of the data/content source (e.g., the host IP address). As such, the primary concerns of the network will no longer be on the reachability between specific hosts but on efficient information dissemination and retrieval. Accordingly, the ICN design principle has put information/data at the center of the networking landscape where information is published, resolved, delivered, and stored natively based on names rather than explicit host locations. This in turn enables a series of desirable features such as the support of in-network caching and multicast forwarding, as well as native security protection and mobility support, thanks to the spatiotemporal decoupling of the communicating entities where data producers and consumers are agnostic to where and when the data will be published/consumed by their counterparts.Given that the ICN paradigm has mostly catered for supporting content distribution operations in the public Internet, the ICN concept has been arguably regarded as a key feature in the design of future Internet architectures [1]. While it is still debatable whether this will become a reality, proposals have also been made for applying ICN to alternative application domains such as machine-to-machine (M2M) smart grid communications [2][3][4]. Similar to the current Internet, today's power grid communications are based on the host-centric model for data exchange between specific machines in the centralized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) environment. In this context, we highlight the following challenges in current smart grid communication infrastructures.Decentralized large-scale data sharing: The SCADA system is expected to face distinct challenges with increased participation of new stakeholders (e.g., solar/wind farm owners) and active power prosumers 1 introduced into the grid operations. It will be very common that data originating from one device is of interest to multiple entities participating in differ- AbstractLargely motivated by the proliferation of content-centric applications in the Internet, information-centric networking has attracted the attention of the research community. By tailoring network operations around named information objects instead of end hosts, ICN yields a series of desirable features such as the spatiotemporal decoupling of communicating entities and the support of in-network caching. In this article, we advocate the introduction of such ICN features in a new, rapidly transforming communication domain: the smart grid. With the rapid introduction of multiple new actors, such as distributed (renewable) energy resources and electric vehicles, smart grids present a new networking landscape where a diverse set of multi-party machine-to-machine applications are required to enhance the observability of the power grid, often in real time and on top of a diverse set of communication in...

SummaryThe present scenario witnesses “the second quantum revolution,” which has enabled the development of revolutionary novel quantum tools. Quantum computing endeavors to establish higher computing standards that can potentially solve complex structures. Post‐quantum cryptography (PQC) has emerged as one of the new domains of cryptography, which is resilient to quantum attacks owing to the revolution in quantum computing. To ensure quantum security, the lattice‐based cryptosystem (LB‐cryptosystem) is one of the promising tools of PQC to address quantum‐based threats. The traditional security algorithms, such as RSA and Diffie–Hellman (DH), are strong enough to resist present security threats. However, it has been predicted that quantum technologies have the capability to break the security of most traditional algorithms whose security is based on prime factorization and DH‐type hard problems. Therefore, research is currently focused on addressing the security and privacy threats by using LB‐cryptosystems to secure various applications, organizations' data, and information infrastructure in the quantum era. The purpose of this article is to investigate recent advances in LB‐cryptosystems that may allow the design of secure models for smart‐grid networks (SGNs) against existing and future quantum attacks. SGNs have been explored as the bi‐directional assimilation of communication in terms of electricity generation, transmission, allocation, and utilization. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of LB‐cryptosystems, as well as their potential applications in securing SGNs. Lastly, the article summarizes the various PQC primitives, NIST selected algorithms, open‐source tools along with their packages, and various PQC industrial initiatives, and also compares traditional cryptographic schemes with other PQC.
