Physical layer security for the smart grid: vulnerabilities, threats and countermeasures
journal contribution
posted on 2019-12-01, 00:00 authored by Shama IslamShama Islam, Zubair BaigZubair Baig, Sherali ZeadallySmart energy systems are becoming an important component of smart cities. The wide adoption of existing computing technologies and communication standards by a smart energy system exposes it to the plethora of threats that exist in cyberspace. We investigate the vulnerabilities and threats associated with smart energy system components including Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices, as well as relevant communication standards and we discuss countermeasures against adversarial attacks. We found that the existing literature has reported various attacks including modification, denial-of-service, malware, and message replay, which can cause malfunctioning of different components of a smart energy system. In addition, we propose a framework for securing the physical layer of the smart energy system. The framework is based on advanced key generation, machine learning and physical layer security techniques which enhance the security of smart energy systems across different applications.
