论文摘要
该应用的研究论文介绍了一个新颖的框架，用于将硬件安全性和区块链功能与网格边缘设备集成，以建立分布式的网络安全机制，以验证消息向设备和设备的出处。这项工作扩展了两个因素身份验证和硬件根源的想法，描述了集成到网格边缘设备中的加密信任中心（TM）（CTC（TM））芯片的开发，以创建均匀的加密密钥管理。产品经理，能源系统设计师和安全架构师可以利用此模块化框架作为统一的方法来管理各种供应商，年份和大小的分布式设备。结果证明了CTC（TM）在基于区块链的交易能量（TE）平台上的应用，以配备加密密钥，并改善了操作网络和数据管理的均匀性。该配置，安装和维护密钥的过程被描述为Eco-Secure Presisioning（TM）（ESP（TM））。实验室测试结果表明，该方法可以解决常见区块链框架（例如HyperLeDger织物）中的几个网络安全差距。
This applied research paper introduces a novel framework for integrating hardware security and blockchain functionality with grid-edge devices to establish a distributed cyber-security mechanism that verifies the provenance of messages to and from the devices. Expanding the idea of Two Factor Authentication and Hardware Root of Trust, this work describes the development of a Cryptographic Trust Center(TM) (CTC(TM)) chip integrated into grid-edge devices to create uniform cryptographic key management. Product managers, energy system designers, and security architects can utilize this modular framework as a unified approach to manage distributed devices of various vendors, vintages, and sizes. Results demonstrate the application of CTC(TM) to a blockchain-based Transactive Energy (TE) platform for provisioning of cryptographic keys and improved uniformity of the operational network and data management. This process of configuring, installing, and maintaining keys is described as Eco-Secure Provisioning(TM) (ESP(TM)). Laboratory test results show the approach can resolve several cyber-security gaps in common blockchain frameworks such as Hyperledger Fabric.
