Futuristic Smart Grid architectures demand highly available, scalable, consistent and secure computing environments. Hence, cloud computing is a natural fit for smart grid implementations. In order to provide the security and privacy required for smart grid implementations, it is essential to use cryptographic mechanisms within the cloud.

Dr. Sarbari Gupta, President and CEO of Electrosoft, spoke at the 4th Annual IEEE Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT) held at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC between February 24-27, 2013. See conference website (http://ieee-isgt.org/) for more details.

As a part of the panel entitled “Smart Grid and Cloud", Dr. Gupta spoke about special issues and challenges that arise in managing cryptographic keys that protect Smart Grid data in the cloud.
