Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of "Cyber Security in Smart Grids". The presence of smart grids has increased rapidly in recent years. Smart grid cybersecurity must address both inadvertent compromises of the electric infrastructure, due to user errors, equipment failures, and natural disasters, and deliberate attacks.
This Special Issue will deal with the cyber security aspect of smart grids. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Secure protocols;
- Cryptographic schemes for the smart grid;
- Hardware accelerators for security;
- Secure network infrastructure;
- Network security threats in the smart grid;
- Network countermeasures for the smart grid;
- Secure software structure;
- Reliable equipment;
- Trustworthy interfaces;
- Redundant links.
