【内容简介】

From smart homes to smart cars, smart buildings to smart cities, a "smarter" world is unfolding ahead of us. Along the path to smartness, however, a fast-expanding cyberspace over the critical systems and process inevitably raises challenges over its security and resiliency against malicious attacks. In this talk, we will walk through such security challenges in the context of the smart grid, the critical infrastructure that will empower us with intelligent power, energy, control, and communication technologies.

Positioned in a worst-case scenario, we will first identify the prominent cyber-physical exposures and vulnerabilities in this complex infrastructure, then reveal how attackers can exploit the intelligence to fabricate intrigue schemes and inflict a massive blackout. Checking both sides of the coin, we will also discuss how the smartness, particularly the latest computational intelligence, can be leveraged both by the attackers to unexpectedly penetrate the smart grid and by the defenders to intelligently protect it.

The talk aims to provide an inclusive view on the research efforts, experiment designs, and standard developments across multiple disciplines and from both industry and academia to secure the smart grid and the emerging Energy Internet. It also hopes to inspire research collaborations and communications over a broader spectrum of cyber-physical security, for smart cars, smart communities, smart cities, and other smart infrastructures that are emerging with the Internet-of-Things in a smarter world.
