On smart grid cybersecurity standardization: issues of designing with nistir 7628
Abstract
Cybersecurity is an important but usually not adequately addressed area in the smart grid. Its standardization is also relatively immature. The NISTIR 7628 seems to be a comprehensive document for security designers/practitioners in smart grid research and practice. However, the NISTIR 7628 security framework might still be insufficient to specify the requirements of a secure smart grid system. More specifically, the EV charging infrastructure is used to study the effectiveness of the NISTIR 7628 framework in specifying security criteria, and the resulting security assurance. Two weaknesses, one in addressing node or device authentication and the other in location privacy of EV owners, are found for a system satisfying all the security requirements stipulated by the NISTIR 7628, thus illustrating the subtlety of applying the NISTIR 7628.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
