Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an integral part of Critical Infrastructures (CIs), bringing both significant pros and cons. Focusing our attention on the energy sector, ICT converts the conventional electrical grid into a new paradigm called Smart Grid (SG), providing crucial benefits such as pervasive control, better utilisation of the existing resources, self-healing, etc. However, in parallel, ICT increases the attack surface of this domain, generating new potential cyberthreats. In this paper, we present the Secure and PrivatE smArt gRid (SPEAR) architecture which constitutes an overall solution aiming at protecting SG, by enhancing situational awareness, detecting timely cyberattacks, collecting appropriate forensic evidence and providing an anonymous cybersecurity information-sharing mechanism. Operational characteristics and technical specifications details are analysed for each component, while also the communication interfaces among them are described in detail.

安全和私有智能电网:SPEAR架构

信息和通信技术(ICT)是关键基础设施(CIs)的一个组成部分，带来了显著的优点和缺点。我们将注意力集中在能源领域，ICT将传统电网转变为一种称为智能电网(SG)的新范式，提供了诸如普遍控制，更好地利用现有资源，自我修复等重要好处。然而，与此同时，信息通信技术增加了这一领域的攻击面，产生了新的潜在网络威胁。在本文中，我们提出了安全和私有智能电网(SPEAR)架构，该架构构成了一个旨在通过增强态势感知、及时检测网络攻击、收集适当的法医证据和提供匿名网络安全信息共享机制来保护SG的整体解决方案。详细分析了各部件的工作特性和技术规格，并详细描述了各部件之间的通信接口。
