Welcome to the...      

IEEE/PES Substation Committee

Working Group C6

WELCOME to the Working Group C6 site.  The purpose of this site is to facilitate the development of P1711.

Title: Trial Use Standard for a Cryptographic Protocol for Cyber Security of Substation Serial Links 

Scope of Proposed Project:

This trial use standard defines the cryptographic protocol for cyber security of serial SCADA links and engineering access points that implement the requirements of IEEE P1689.  

Purpose of the Proposed Project:

Utilities will use this standard as part of a procurement specification to ensure that cyber security devices built by different solution providers are interoperable. Solution providers will use the cryptographic protocols to build interoperable open system cyber security devices that protect existing asynchronous serial communications against cyber attack.
