A Modern Approach to Securing Critical Infrastructure in Energy Transmission Networks: Integration of Cryptographic Mechanisms and Biometric Data

Abstract

Energy security is a crucial issue for political, environmental, and economic reasons. This article presents a modern approach to securing critical infrastructure in energy transmission networks, which are managed by advanced IT systems. This paper focuses on the integration of cryptographic mechanisms with biometric data, providing an additional layer of protection against cyber threats. The discussed solutions enable the protection of management systems in energy transmission networks, enhancing their resilience to cyberattacks. The use of the command-line interface (CLI) in combination with biometrics allows for precise execution of security tasks such as network monitoring, firewall management, and automation of security tasks. This makes these systems more reliable and secure, which is essential for the stability of energy systems.
