Multi-Layer Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience for Smart Grid
It addresses security challenges for smart grid systems, but it is incremental as it reviews existing tools and discusses future directions without new findings.
This chapter tackles the problem of ensuring security and resilience in smart grids by proposing a layered perspective and using game and decision theory to model interactions, but it does not present specific results or concrete numbers.
The smart grid is a large-scale complex system that integrates communication technologies with the physical layer operation of the energy systems. Security and resilience mechanisms by design are important to provide guarantee operations for the system. This chapter provides a layered perspective of the smart grid security and discusses game and decision theory as a tool to model the interactions among system components and the interaction between attackers and the system. We discuss game-theoretic applications and challenges in the design of cross-layer robust and resilient controller, secure network routing protocol at the data communication and networking layers, and the challenges of the information security at the management layer of the grid. The chapter will discuss the future directions of using game-theoretic tools in addressing multi-layer security issues in the smart grid.
