The engineering, deployment and security of the future smart grid will
be an enormous project requiring the consensus of many stakeholders with
different views on the security and privacy requirements, not to mention
methods and solutions. The fragmentation of research agendas and
proposed approaches or solutions for securing the future smart grid
becomes apparent observing the results from different projects,
standards, committees, etc, in different countries. The different
approaches and views of the papers in this collection also witness this
fragmentation. This book contains three full-paper length invited papers
and 7 corrected and extended papers from the First International
Workshop on Smart Grid Security, SmartGridSec 2012, which brought
together researchers from different communities from academia and
industry in the area of securing the Future Smart Grid and was held in
Berlin, Germany, on December 3, 2012.
