deployed testbed
Description: The rapid evolution of ICT has revealed the potential for centrally monitoring, controlling, and optimising the power grid. In this context, a more intelligent, responsive, and efficient, system has been devised, known as the Smart Grid (SG). As explained in the EU Third Energy Package the SG will support a dynamic two-way information exchange between utility companies and their customers, contributing towards a smart and sustainable energy management in Europe and the establishment of a wiser energy consumption mentality. However, besides the benefits of such an endeavour, the power grid will be exposed to security threats inherited from the ICT sector, while privacy issues and new vulnerabilities, related to the specific characteristics of the SG infrastructure, will emerge. The problem is assessed as crucial, if we consider that a potential attack to the SG may lead to cascading failures, ranging from destruction of other interconnected critical infrastructures to loss of human lives. Thus, the development of a security platform tailored to the SG is required, that i) can efficiently manage the plethora of SG nodes, ii) deal with potential malicious hardware or software modifications due to the physical access of the customers to the SG nodes, and iii) operate over heterogeneous systems. Considering all the above, SealedGRID aims at bringing together experts from industry and academia from cross-sectorial research areas having complementary background with the long-term goal to design, analyse, and implement a scalable, highly trusted and interoperable SG security platform. The platform will combine, for the very first time, technologies like Blockchain, Distributed Hash Tables, Trusted Execution Environments, and OpenID Connect, while for its realization the SealedGRID consortium is committed to a fully-integrated and multi-disciplinary secondment programme combined with a set of networking, dissemination, and exploitation activities.

Description: The increased computational complexity of decision making in extensive smart grid networks and limited performance due to unoptimized large-scale implementations of smart grids have lead to an urgent call-to-action. Thanks to the MQTT protocol, the ability of accessing IoT sensor data remotely has made maintenance and repairing tasks an ease, as there is no longer a necessity to waste specialists time on localizing the source of the issue. Additionally, IoT has offered consumers live access to their consumption data, thus facilitating the payment of bills. Blockchain together with cryptography has made significant improvements to the underlying security of the network, by firstly ensuring the authenticity of the information circulated between network nodes and secondly by scrambling the data, in order to prevent potential malicious users from finding out essential information regarding the consumer’s energy usage habits. Artificial Intelligence aims at optimizing the information flow and integrating supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) into the network, thus providing interoperability with existing grid architecture.

Description: The Chain-enabled PP-IDM Testbed is set to demonstrate the collaboration of distributed ledger technologies DLTs and privacy-preserving technologies (PETs) for achieving trustworthy environments where users are in control of their identity and can access services with guarantees of data minimization and not being tracked by services nor identity providers.
Concept: Users can obtain p-ABC credentials from a distributed infrastructure (OLYMPUS based) that secures critical points increasing the trust in all the scenarios. The IdM platform using smart contracts can unambiguously register existing identity providers and even keep track of service providers and their policies. Each service provider must communicate what information it consumes, and this is recorded in the DLT for later use. In this way, users can know in advance what data a registered service provider consumes and whether the policy it has finally demanded from them is the one it initially declared. Technology: DLT, privacy-preserving Attribute Based Credentials (p-ABC), distributed identity management. Convergence between DLT and distributed IdM for trust increase. Smart Contracts
