SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGIN...

This SpringerBrief addresses the main security concerns for smart grid  e.g.  the privacy of
electricity consumers  the exchanged messages integrity and confidentiality  the authenticity
of participated parties  and the false data injection attacks. Moreover  the authors
demonstrate in detail the various proposed techniques to secure the smart grid's different
communication networks and preserve the privacy of the involved. Over many years  power grid
has generated electricity from central generators and distributed it in one direction from the
generation stations to end-users  also  information is one directional so that the grid's
control center doesn't get enough information about customers' requirements and consequently
can't prevent electricity losses. So  the electricity grid is merged with information and
communication technology to form smart grid. The main target of this incorporation is to
connect different parties of power grid to exchange information about grid conditions and
customers' requirements  and consequently  improve the reliability and efficiency of
electricity generation and distribution. That upgrade of the power grid exposes it to the cyber
security threats that the communication networks suffer from  such as malicious attacks to
forge the electricity consumption readings or price  extract personal information for
residential consumers  such as daily habits and life style  or attack some grid's resources and
equipment availability using denial-of-service attacks. Also  novel threats are introduced in
smart grid due to the power grid nature  such as false data injection attack  in which the
adversary compromises several measurement units and injects false information about the grid
conditions that mislead the grid's control center to make wrong decisions for the grid and
consequently impact on its stability and efficiency.
