It is based on the integration of ICT technologies, renewable energy and advanced algorithms for management and optimization. Smart grid is a system of systems in which communication technology plays a vital role. Safe operations of the smart grid need careful design of the communication protocols, cryptographic schemes and computing technology. In this article, we survey the recently proposed algorithms, technologies, protocols and architectures for secure smart grid communication network.enInformation and communication technology,SCADA systems,cyber security,sensors,smart gridJournal Article
