Intelligent Access Control Design for Security Context Awareness in Smart Grid

Context-Awareness Using Anomaly-Based Detectors for Smart Grid Domains

Anomaly-based detection applied in strongly interdependent systems, like Smart Grids, has become one of the most challenging research areas in recent years. Early detection of anomalies so as to detect and prevent unexpected faults or stealthy threats is attracting a great deal of attention from the scientific community because it offers potential solutions for context-awareness. These solution...

Intelligent High-Security Access Control

Access control is an important security issue in particular because of terrorist threats. Access points are increasingly becoming equipped with advanced input sensors often based on biometrics, and with advanced intelligent methods that learn from experience. We have designed a flexible modular system based on integration of arbitrary access sensors and an arbitrary number of stand-alone module...

Context-awareness and the smart grid: Requirements and challenges

New intelligent power grids (smart grids) will be an essential way of improving efficiency in power supply and power consumption, facilitating the use of distributed and renewable resources on the supply side and providing consumers with a range of tailored services on the consumption side. The delivery of efficiencies and advanced services in a smart grid will require both a comprehensive over...

Security in the smart grid

Cyber-security in Smart Grid Communication and Control

Society is increasingly dependent on the reliable operation of power systems. Power systems, at the same time, heavily rely on information technologies to achieve efficient and reliable operation. Recent initiatives to upgrade power systems into smart grids target an even tighter integration with information technologies to enable the integration of renewable energy sources, local and bulk gene...
