Cyber Security
IEC 62351 is a standard developed to handle the security of TC 57 series of protocols including IEC 60870–5 series, IEC 60870–6 series, IEC 61850 series, IEC 61970 series & IEC 61968 series.
The different security objectives include the authentication of data transfer through digital signatures, prevention of eavesdropping and playback as well as spoofing, and intrusion detection.
IPsec (IP for “Internet Protocol” and sec for “secure”) is a group of protocols to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and authentication of data communications over an IP network.
IPsec is commonly used as a base for VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), encrypting the IP packets and authenticating the source where the packets come from.
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) is a protocol developed by Cisco to handle authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services and was released as an open standard beginning in 1993.
It is an extension of its predecessor TACACS, encrypting the full content of each packet and provides granular control (command by command authorization) whilst operating over TCP.
OpenVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) protocol and software for both client and server applications.
It implements techniques to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities enabling peer authentication using pre-shared secret keys, certificates or usernames/passwords.
Public key infrastructure (PKI) refers to a range of technologies for authenticating users and devices in order to secure the digital transfer of information for a range of network activities such as e‑commerce, internet banking and confidential email.
It includes a set of roles, policies, hardware, software and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption.
