Hi Phillip, The challenges of applying PKI to SmartGrids has been worked within NIST's SmartGrid security group and equivalents in other venues over the past five years or more. See the group's twicki at http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/CyberSecurityCTG Volume 1 of the associated NISTR 7628, and a Rev. 1 in draft was produced last year. See http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/nistir-7628-r1/draft_nistir_7628_r1_vol1.pdf
There was a good article providing an overview in the first issue of IEEE Transactions on SmartGrid. See http://www.csit.qub.ac.uk/media/pdf/Filetoupload,286700,en.pdf The entire last ITU-T SG17 meeting had barely a hundred attendees. The PKI group Q11/17 had only three input contributions (2 from Korea's ETRI, and one from China - both dealing with non-PKI matters) and only a handful of people present. It is the last remaining UN intergovernmental technical standards body in the sector and rapidly dying, so it seems a stretch that anything will be pursued there. Now doing it in the IETF is another matter! --tony ps. On the positive side, the ITU-T standards are now free. _______________________________________________ wpkops mailing list wpkops@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkops
