However, the IEC 61850 protocol lacks an authentication security mechanism, which will make the communication face four threats: eavesdropping, interception, forgery, and alteration. In order to verify the IEC 61850 protocol communication problems, we used the simulation software to build the main operating equipment in the IEC 61850 network environment of the communication system. We verified IEC 61850 transmission protocol security defects, under DoS attack and Reply attack. In order to enhance security agreement, an improved algorithm was proposed based on identity authentication (W-EAP, Whitelist Based ECC & AES Protocol). Experimental results showed that the method can enhance the ability to resist attacks.Read More
