A Review of IEC 62351 Security Mechanisms for IEC 61850 Message Exchanges
Open accessAbstract
Smart grid is the nexus of advanced information and communication technologies and legacy power systems. With increasing awareness on the vulnerabilities of smart grids to cyberattacks, cybersecurity is becoming a prime concern. Earlier, it was assumed that the power system communication protocols are very specialized and different, so the “security by obscurity” approach would be sufficient. However, with the standardization of communication protocols for power utilities and the emergence of the power market, this approach is no longer valid. IEC 62351 Standard has been published to provide security recommendations for different power system communication protocols including IEC 61850. IEC 61850 is emerging as the most promising and popular power system communication standard. Therefore, in this article, a detailed analysis of security threats, possible attacks, and security requirements for IEC 61850 communication is presented. Building on this, the security considerations presented in IEC 62351 for securing different IEC 61850 messages, such as generic object-oriented substation events (GOOSE), sampled values (SV), routable-GOOSE, routable-SV, and manufacturing message specification messages have been presented in great detail.

IEC 61850 has become the de facto or preferred communication standard for substation automation in the smart grid.
“IEC 61850 [9,10,11,12,13,14] has become the de facto standard for substation communication within the smart grid.”
From Vulnerability and Impact Analysis of the IEC 61850 GOOSE Protocol in the Smart Grid (2021) · cites this paper as [4]
The Abstract (page unavailable) calls IEC 61850 the most promising smart-grid communication standard and says it was initially proposed for substation automation. Section A, “IEC 61850 for power utility automation beyond SAS” (page unavailable), describes its popularity, but says it is poised to become the preferred standard. The copy therefore supports its prominence, not the stronger claim that it has already become the de facto standard. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe IEC 62351 standard was developed to overcome the limitation of insecure IEC 61850-based communication and provide cybersecurity objectives across other communication protocols.
“To overcome this limitation and provide cybersecurity objectives even across the other communication protocols, the IEC 62351 [4,16] standard was developed.”

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.
