Overview of thesis

Smart grids expand the traditional electrical grid, allowing two-way communication between entities. This evolution is continuously happening worldwide to electrical grids. Due to the two-way communication in smart grids, they have become vulnerable to many cyber-attacks. These attacks can cause issues, such as faulty measurements, damage to equipment, and blackouts. My research will investigate lesser-researched attacks in smart grids: spoofing, injection, and time synchronisation attacks. The impact of these attacks on specific smart grid devices will be explored. Then, the mitigation of these attacks will be explicitly investigated by designing robust authentication protocols using physically unclonable functions. Finally, a set of evaluation metrics will be proposed for the developed authentication protocols.
