Active Projects	Active P1686 - Standard for Intelligent Electronic Devices Cyber Security Capabilities The standard defines the functions and features to be provided in intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) to accommodate cybersecurity programs. The standard addresses security regarding the access, operation, configuration, firmware revision and data retrieval from an IED. Confidentiality, integrity and availability of external interfaces of the IED is also addressed.
Existing Standards	Superseded IEEE 1686-2007 - IEEE Standard for Substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) Cyber Security Capabilities The functions and features to be provided in substation intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) to accommodate critical infrastructure protection programs are defined in this standard. Security regarding the access, operation, configuration, firmware revision, and data retrieval from an IED is addressed in this standard. Communications for the purpose of power system protection (teleprotection) is not addressed. Encryption for the secure transmission of data both within and external to the substation, including supervisory control and data acquisition, is not part of this standard as this is addressed in other efforts.
