Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable for providing a cyber-security architecture for microgrid systems are described herein. One or more embodiments include a system for providing a cyber-security architecture for a microgrid, comprising a supervisory control and data acquisition network device having at least one remote network connection to a non-local network device and allowing communication of data and control instructions between the non-local network device and at least one local device in a microgrid network and a control network for providing control instructions to the local device based on data from the microgrid and a power generation network device, the control network allowing communication of data and control instructions between the power generation network device and the local device in the microgrid network.

System and method of architectural security and resilience for microgrid systems

Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable media for legacy device securitization within a microgrid system are described herein. One or more embodiments include a system having a microgrid network with at least one remote network connection to a non-local network device and the network having at least one local legacy device in communication with the non-local network device and a bump-in-the-wire (BITW) security device between the local legacy device and the at least one remote connection.

Legacy device securitization using bump-in-the-wire security devices within a microgrid system

A system and method includes obtaining a secret key at a processor of a device, obtaining a salt and an environmental variable, generating a cryptographically transformed derived key via the processor of the device using the secret key, the salt, and the environmental variable, storing the derived key in a memory of the device, and using the derived key for cryptographic communications via a network with another device.

Symmetric secret key protection

Physical presence verification by an industrial control system controller is described herein. One industrial control system controller includes a mechanism configured to verify that a user of the industrial control system controller is physically present at a location of the controller, a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to permit the user to perform industrial control operations using the controller only if the user is physically present at the location of the controller.
