1 Remote Control not only, but also for Energy Distribution Systems Dr. Dietmar Gollnick CEO e*message Group CMA Spring Meeting 2016

2 Remember what is the truth.

3 1) It is not wise to remember what we know. But it could be useful to remember what unfortunately sometimes we have forgotten

4 Everything is IP. Single point of failure, too. Two sites of the medal: This is convenient This is dangerous

5 Communication channel is not dedicated to a terminal One smartphone at least 5 networks WIFI GPRS Bluetooth 800 MHz Band NFC 1800 MHz Band

6 Communication: many networks - one target Source: ETSI EmTel TS "Authorities to Citizen V1.2.1 ( )

7 The Secret of affordable much higher availability: Lowest correlation between used services is required. Service 1 Service 2 Composed Service Failure Rate 1 % + 0,5 % = 0,005 %

8 In Addition to To control Hundreds of Thousends of PROSUMERS is not any more to control some large power plants.

9 2) One practical case: How to control decentralized production and consumption of energy in the distribution network with a huge and growing number of renewable energy production facilities namely very volatile and unpredictable powersources

10 The requirements and the situation For example: Berlin. Germany. Europe. Ripple Control should be reinvested or should be replaced Long wave switching procedure far away not meeting (among others security) requirements Not finished yet discussion about what, why and how Smart Meter can influence

11 Ripple Control much to expensive Long Wave (EFR) not secure. See report from Prof. Dr. Christoph Ruland, University of Siegen Smart Meter is for... METERING. What is NOT Switching.

12 September 2014 Start of e*nergy Switching Technology in Berlin-Britz

13 * *Strom: german for Electricity Current Power Flux River Torrent (see: Google translation)

14 Security characteristics of new Smart Switching solution of e*nergy: Highest security and safety level through Usage of digital signatures Crypto algorithms regarding BSI TR Change of Signature Keys possible at any time over the air No private (secret) keys in the device by design Time synchronisation of receivers done by special authenticated messaging service Secure authentication of sender by receivers (only commands from valid sources will be executed)

15 Security characteristics This results in (among others) No threat from man-in-the-middle-scenario No threat from replay message(s) Intentionally disruption of Signal leads not to manipulations of switching content

16 3) Further Development(s)

17 Stabilisation and development of value chain

18 Monitoring and helping the legislation process

19 From Germany to Europe Who else is really moving new energy cases in Europe? Where can be found or build countrywide secure switching infrastructures? First: To talk with France. Smart Metering: Yes. Switching: t.b.d.

20 Use it outside energy distribution systems One example: Smoke detector infrastructure Other example: Other utility related needs

21 Integration, miniaturisation and using in hybrid environments +

22 Tell the easy stories Again and Again. Lower correlation means higher availability IP convenience can lead us to additional single points of failure One way communication cannot be attacked by the way back One way communication is cheap and can reach in one time many receivers Terminal device since a long time is not anymore connected and/or dedicated to only one service or network

23 Tell the easy stories Hardware integration can do a lot or almost all: hybrid solution for different services Highly integrated hybrid solution is cheaper than any other solution What is not secure should not be used Safety First

24 4) Some information about speaker and organisations
