Zusammenfassung

Successful decentralized and prosumer-based smart grids need to be at least as dependable and secure as the prevailing one-way, generation-transmission-distribution-consumer power grids. With this motivation in mind, we propose a two-phase model-based design methodology for secure architectural design and secure deployment of such a security architecture on a distributed separation kernel. In particular, we are modeling essential parts of a smart micro grid with several interacting prosumers, and demonstrate exemplary security/privacy requirements of this smart grid. The security policy architecture of this smart grid is deployed on a secure distributed platform, relying on a combination of separation kernels and deterministic network, as developed in the Distributed MILS project.
