An advanced metering infrastructure is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks and data management systems designed to support the safe, efficient and reliable distribution of electricity while providing advanced functionality to energy customers.  Unfortunately, sophisticated cyber attacks on advanced metering infrastructures are a clear and present danger.  The most devastating scenario involves a computer worm that traverses advanced metering infrastructures and permanently disables millions of smart meters.  This presentation describes a security analysis of an advanced metering infrastructure comprising more than one million smart meters, 100+ data collectors and two meter data management systems.  Specifically, it provides detailed evaluations of the attack surface, targets -- especially the critical data collectors -- and their functionality, and possible attacks and their impacts.  The systematic identification of each target and its functionality, and possible attacks and their direct impacts, are essential to understanding the security landscape as well as specifying and prioritizing mitigation efforts as part of a robust risk management program.  Although this work is based on an analysis of one large advanced metering infrastructure, strong attempts have been undertaken to extract and articulate the commonalities when describing the attack surface, targets, possible attacks and their impacts.  Thus, the results can be used as a foundation upon which the unique aspects of an advanced metering infrastructure can be added to create a robust risk management program geared for the specific deployment.

  • ABSTRACT:
    Protecting data in-use has long been a challenging open problem in computer science. While being computed on in cleartext in system memory, your data stored in RAM is exposed to the millions lines of code that make up the underlying platform’s privileged system software. By design, a malicious firmware, or compromised operating system can easily leak your data, or compromise its integrity.

    Confidential computing is a privacy-enhancing system security primitive which addresses this challenge head-on, by running your security-sensitive processes in isolated execution environments whose security guarantees can be remotely attested. Its recent generations, such as Intel SGX, Intel TDX and AMD SEV SNP, make use of newer CPU hardware and architectural extensions, such as the AES-128 hardware encryption engine which encrypts RAM memory pages in real-time. Hardware with these capabilities is already available in the market, and public cloud providers have been one of its early adopters.

    In this presentation, we first visit the history of confidential computing, then study the technical system primitives which allow us to implement both isolation and attestation. We also explore the different silicon implementations of confidential computing, where they are deployed today, and for which uses cases.
