4. What Are Priority Action Plans?
• NIST workshops identified priority standards issues
– many standards require revision or enhancement
– and new standards need to be developed to fill gaps
• A total of 70 priority standards issues were identified in the EPRI
report
• NIST determined which require most urgent resolution and
selected top 14 to initiate PAPs
• The August SDO Workshop was used to develop the action plan
for each priority issue.
• Current status for each PAP is posted on the NIST website
– broad SDO and stakeholder support and participation
– aggressive milestones in 2009 or early 2010 established
• The Smart Grip Interoperability Panel will guide oversee progress
on PAPs and development of new PAPs.

7. PAP02: Use of Wireless Communications in the Smart
Grid
• There are a number of advantages for using wireless communications
including:
– Untethered access to information
– Mobility
– Interoperability
– Reduced cost and complexity
– Availability of technologies with different characteristics to choose
from
• A number of challenges remain to be addressed:
– How to choose among technologies with different characteristics?
– How do we know which technology to use for what Smart Grid
application?
– Are there any implications for using a certain wireless technology
in a certain environment?
– Are there any deployment? Interference issues?
• Growing list of Use Cases on the NIST Information Knowledge Base -

8. PAP02: Task on Guidelines for the Use of Wireless
Communications in the Smart Grid
• Develop Smart Grid application communication requirements and
organize applications with similar network requirements
– Draft under development and available for review
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-
sggrid/pub/SmartGrid/PAP02Wireless/app_matrix_pap.xls
• Develop terminology and definitions
• Create an attribute list and performance metrics for wireless standards
– Draft developed and available for review
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/pub/SmartGrid/PAP02Wireless/NIST_PAP2-
_Wireless_Characteristics-IEEE802-v_02.xls
• Create an inventory of wireless technologies and standards that are
identified by each SDO
– Feedback is expected by December 6, 2009.
• Conduct an evaluation of the wireless technologies based on the
application requirements
• Perform a gap analysis and developing guidelines for the use of
wireless technologies.

9. President’s Cyberspace Policy Review
…as the United States deploys
new Smart Grid technology, the
Federal government must
ensure that security standards
are developed and adopted to
avoid creating unexpected
opportunities for adversaries to
penetrate these systems or
conduct large-scale attacks.

10. Smart Grid Cyber Security Strategy
• Establishment of a Cyber Security Coordination Task Group
(CSCTG)
– Over 200 participants
• Private sector – vendors, service providers
• Academia
• Regulatory organizations
• Federal agencies
– Have established several sub-working groups
• Vulnerability class analysis
• Bottom-Up assessment
• Privacy
• Standards assessment
• High level requirements
• Functional architecture development
– Weekly teleconferences for each sub-working group

11. Smart Grid Cyber Security Strategy (2)
• The strategy…
– Selection of use cases with cyber security considerations (see
NISTIR version 1, Sept 2009 at http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-
sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/NISTIR7628Sep252009 )
– Performance of a risk assessment of the Smart Grid, including
assessing vulnerabilities and impacts
– Development of a security architecture linked to the Smart Grid
interface diagrams
– Identification of cyber security requirements and risk mitigation
measures to provide adequate protection
• The final product
– A set of recommended cyber security requirements for each
Category of Interfaces (see diagrams)
– NISTIR version 2 due in mid-January
– Final due late Spring 2010
