The successful deployment of smart grids is predicated on the ability
to guarantee their security. Such a requirement is of paramount
importance since electrical grids are essential to several components
of the critical infrastructure. Recent cyber security incidents and
security research studies demonstrate that electrical grids could be
subjected to disrupting attacks that might lead to severe security and
economic consequences, and even to the endangerment and loss of human
lives. In this talk, we will first present the ongoing activities of
our research program on smart grid security. We will then, present
some of our recent research contributions in terms of the detection
and the mitigation of delay attacks on time synchronization. In
addition, we will discuss our recent ongoing research on security
metrics for the smart grid.
