Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security: Vol. 2, Privacy and the Smart Grid. The Smart Grid Interoperability Panel Cyber Security Working Group

摘要

The Smart Grid is an evolving construct of new technologies, services, and entities integrating with legacy solutions and organizations. The SGIP-CSWG privacy subgroup views the privacy chapter as a starting point for continuing the work to improve upon privacy practices as the Smart Grid continues to evolve and as new privacy threats, vulnerabilities and the associated risks emerge. The information in this chapter was developed as a consensus document by a diverse subgroup consisting of representatives from the privacy, electric energy, telecommunications and cyber industry, academia, and government organizations. The chapter does not represent legal opinions, but rather was developed to explore privacy concerns, and provide associated recommendations for addressing them. Privacy impacts and implications may change as the Smart Grid expands and matures. It should be noted that this chapter addresses residential users and their data. The CSWG Privacy Subgroup will begin to explore privacy concerns for commercial, industrial, and institutional energy consumers, and deliver updates to existing work to address any new privacy considerations based on the pace of Smart Grid evolution.
