Abstract

Smart Grids are amongst the most promising future developments to manage and control the energy consumption in the next decades. However, the integration and interdependencies that will evolve between the electricity power grid, telecommunication networks and ICT enable new threats and vulnerabilities to this critical infrastructure which must be addressed adequately with the right kind of security controls, balanced risk mitigation strategies and a continuous attention towards security, privacy and regulation aspects. It is an emerging area where new data privacy problems arise as mass rollout of smart meters is already happening.
