Standard for Security and Trust Evaluation of Lightweight Secure Communication for Electric Power Internet of Things (IoT) Terminals

This standard specifies security capability requirements, trusted evaluation criteria, and evaluation methods for lightweight secure communication used by electric power Internet of Things (IoT) terminals. It defines the capabilities and evaluation requirements related to terminal identity authentication, lightweight encrypted communication, key and credential management, secure session establishment, communication integrity and confidentiality, trust evidence collection, trustworthiness verification, and security capability classification. This standard applies to resource-constrained electric power IoT terminals used in power generation, transmission, distribution, consumption, distributed energy resources, metering, sensing, and edge-control scenarios. It supports the establishment, maintenance, and verification of trust among Power IoT terminals, edge nodes, management platforms, and related digital entities during communication interactions in electric power environments.

No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
