Defending the Power Grid by Segmenting the EV Charging Cyber Infrastructure

This paper examines defending the power grid against load-altering attacks using electric vehicle charging. It proposes to preventively segment the cyber infrastructure that charging station operators CSOs use to communicate with and control their charging stations, thereby limiting the impact of...

Routing and Wavelength Assignment with Minimal Attack Radius for QKD Networks

Quantum Key Distribution QKD can distribute keys with guaranteed security but remains susceptible to key exchange interruption due to physical-layer threats, such as high-power jamming attacks. To address this challenge, we first introduce a novel metric, namely Maximum Number of Affected Request...
