Abstract: The electricity grid is an important critical infrastructure that is undergoing major changes, due to the Internet of Things (IoT) and renewable energy, heading towards the smart grid. However, besides the many good promises of the smart grid, such as better peak control, cheaper maintenance, and more open energy markets, there are many new security threats evolving, especially from the IoT side, and also from the diversification of the systems and practices that the smart grid brings. We thus see the need for more light-weight and dynamic methods for conducting security analyses of systems applicable at (re)design time, intended to help system engineers build secure systems from the start. As a consequence, the methods should also look more at the functionalities (exposure/protection) of the system than at the possible attacks.
