Cyber Security Threats to
Substation Networks
•
Integrity
– Tampered power grid status data
– Faked control commands
•
Cryptographically Secured
Protocols?
Confidentiality
– Valuable raw data
•
Availability
– Data packets flood
5
Challenges:
Manageable Configuration
• Complex and error-prone configuration for current
systems
– Intricate system designs
– Changing specifications during design phases
– Large and hardly auditable configuration files
• TVA Bradley Substation: 7.4Mbytes and 98K lines XML files
– Proprietary configuration tools from multiple vendors
– Complexity of current off-the-shelf security protocols and
tools
• Security vulnerabilities due to incorrect system
configuration
6
Challenges: Latency Requirements
• Timing requirements for real-time operations*
– PMU: 30 times per second
– Substation: event notification for protection
e.g. GOOSE, 2-10ms
• VT: Volt Transformer
• CT: Current Transformer
* IEEE Std. 1646: Communication Delivery Time Performance Requirements for Electric Power Substation Automation
7
Challenges: Efficient Group Key
Management & Configuration
• Integration with power grid systems
– How to partition multicast groups in a particular
domain, like a power substation?
– What’s the role of each control device in a group?
– How to distribute group keys?
• Standardized security protocols
– How to integrate group key management with secure
multicast protocols?
8
Approach: Application-Aware
Secure Multicast
• Derive group membership by application data
dependency in system functional configurations
– Observation: data dependency determines publishsubscribe relationships and group memberships

Approach: Application-Aware
Secure Multicast
• Derive group membership by application data dependency in
system functional configuration
• Detect inconsistent configurations automatically
• Configure group key management system based on the derived
group memberships and extended configuration files
• Raise the link layer multicast to the network layer and secure
multicast traffic using IPsec
11
A Formal Multicast Model:
Components
• D, the set of data objects
• E, the entities which have relationships with data
objects
– O, the set of data owners
– C, the set of data consumer
– P, the set of publishers
– S, the set of subscribers
• G, the set of group controllers
12
A Formal Multicast Model:
Publish-Subscribe Model
13
Publish-Subscribe Model in SCL:
Ownership & Publication
<IED name="IED1" type="SecureIED" desc="Protective Relay">
...
<LDevice inst="PROT">
<LN0 lnClass="LLN0" lnType="IED1-LLN0-Type">
<DataSet name="dsTripLogic">
<FCDA daName="general" doName="Tr" ... ldInst="PROT" lnInst="1"/>
<FCDA daName="general" doName="Op" ... ldInst="PROT" lnInst="1"/>
...
</DataSet>
<GSEControl appID="TripGoose" datSet="dsTripLogic" name="gcbTrip".../>
</LN0>
...
<LN inst="1" lnClass="PTRC" lnType="IED1-PTRC-Type"/>
</LDevice>
...
</IED>

<DataTypeTemplates>
<LNodeType id="IED1_PTRC_Type" lnClass="PTRC">
<DO name="Tr" type="tPTRC_TrOp"/>
<DO name="Op" type="tPTRC_TrOp"/>
</LNodeType>
</DataTypeTemplates>

Publish-Subscribe Model in SCL:
Consumption & Subscription
<IED name="IED2" desc="Switchgear" type="SecureIED">
...
<LDevice inst="CTRL">
<LN desc="CircuitBreaker" inst="1" lnClass="XCBR" lnType="IED2-CTRL-XCBR">

a degree of formal analysis
• Supports wide area multicast, important to intersubstation communications and PMU networks
• Obtains strong support from security communities
• Capable of addressing latency constraints in medium
scale networks
