Welcome to the 51st quarterly report on lessons learned in the NEPA process. This issue features collaboration as a key element of a successful NEP...

The goal of this report is to identify the operation and implementation issues associated with the introduction of the secure form of the Inter-control Center Communications Protocol, or ICCP, formally referred to as IEC 60870-6-TASE.2, into the utility infrastructure. The report provides considerations and recommendations to assist a utility owner to advance the security of the utility’s data exchange operations. The report starts with a description of information assurance, and then discusses end node authentication and Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) using Certificate Authority (CA) certificates. Network infrastructures and protocols associated with ICCP are reviewed, assessed, and modeled to identify the impact of these structures and protocols to the efficient delivery of ICCP data. The report highlights certificate management and implementation issues and discusses some of the transitional issues and strategies to overcome security limitations during the introduction phase of Secure ICCP. Finally the report provides some performance measurement data of the configuration impacts of using security layers to provide Secure ICCP implementations.

This report documents an assessment of wide area measurement system (WAMS) security conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as a project funded by the National SCADA Test Bed Program in cooperation with the Department of Energy’s Transmission Reliability Program. With emphasis on cyber security, this report also addresses other categories of risk and vulnerability including equipment reliability, data quality and human performance. Collectively, these issues affect the overall security of currently functional WAMS infrastructure and its projected future evolution. This effort is motivated by the growing importance of information security in current WAMS operations, as well as the full range of security considerations that must be addressed to enable the projected expansion of its applications.
