Abstract

Many embedded systems in a Smart Grid have special constraints in terms of timing, cost and power consumption to ensure security. This paper addresses the Smart Grid security problem with a focus on improving the security of crucial components, and reducing the risks from cyber attacks. A hardware architecture to enhance the security of important embedded devices in the smart grid has been proposed and implemented. This hardware based malware detection system runs on a dedicated hardware implemented with FPGA logic, and allows detection in near real-time. The system architecture and results are presented in the paper.

Keyphrases: cyber security, malware detection, smart grid
