Cyber-Physical Security and Privacy in the Electric Smart Grid

This book focuses on the combined cyber and physical security issues in advanced electric smart grids.

Existing standards are compared with classical results and the security and privacy principles of current practice are illustrated.

The book paints a way for future development of advanced smart grids that operated in a peer-to-peer fashion, thus requiring a different security model.

Future defenses are proposed that include information flow analysis and attestation systems that rely on fundamental physical properties of the smart grid system.
