Summary:
In this paper, we focus on the impact of blackholeand jamming attacks on the coverage probability experiencedby communication-enabled smart grid equipment. In a blackhole attack, a subset of communication-enabled nodes appearas regular nodes of the smart grid without forward the packets of associated nodes to their intended destination. In a jamming attack, part of the smart grid nodes transmit at high power inorder to disrupt and interfere the communications of regular nodes of the network. A key contribution of our work is a new methodological approach for stochastic modeling of the smartgrid equipment locations that allows the derivation of closed form expressions describing the negative impact following from the joint employment of black hole and jamming attacks in the smart grid. The analytical expressions allows to derive valuable insights for robust and smart grid specific protocol design underthe SMART-NRG architecture.
