FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62351-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC TS 62351-3:2007.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

Part 3: Communication network and system security –
Profiles including TCP/IP



1 Scope
1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 62351 specifies how to provide confidentiality, integrity protection, and
message level authentication for SCADA and telecontrol protocols that make use of TCP/IP
as a message transport layer when cyber-security is required.
Although there are many possible solutions to secure TCP/IP, the particular scope of this part
is to provide security between communicating entities at either end of a TCP/IP connection
within the end communicating entities. The use and specification of intervening external
security devices (e.g. “bump-in-the-wire”) are considered out-of-scope.
This part of IEC 62351 specifies how to secure TCP/IP-based protocols through constraints
on the specification of the messages, procedures, and algorithms of Transport Layer Security
(TLS) (defined in RFC 5246) so that they are applicable to the telecontrol environment of the
IEC. TLS is applied to protect the TCP communication. It is intended that this standard be
referenced as a normative part of other IEC standards that have the need for providing
security for their TCP/IP-based protocol. However, it is up to the individual protocol security
initiatives to decide if this standard is to be referenced.
This part of IEC 62351 reflects the security requirements of the IEC power systems
management protocols. Should other standards bring forward new requirements, this standard
may need to be revised.
1.2 Intended Audience
The initial audience for this specification is intended to be experts developing or making use
of IEC protocols in the field of power systems management and associated information
exchange. For the measures described in this specification to take effect, they must be
accepted and referenced by the specifications for the protocols themselves, where the
protocols make use of TCP/IP security. This document is written to enable that process.
The subsequent audience for this specification is intended to be the developers of products
that implement these protocols.
Portions of this specification may also be of use to managers and executives in order to
understand the purpose and requirements of the work.

4 Security issues addressed by this standard
4.1 Operational requirements affecting the use of TLS in the telecontrol environment
The IEC telecontrol environment has different operational requirements from many
Information Technology (IT) applications that make use of TLS in order to provide security
protection. The most differentiating, in terms of security, is the duration of the TCP/IP
connection for which security needs to be maintained.
Many IT protocols have short duration connections, which allow the encryption algorithms to
be renegotiated at connection re-establishment. However, the connections within a telecontrol
environment tend to have longer durations, often “permanent”. It is the longevity of the
connections in the field of power systems management and associated information exchange
that give rise to the need for special consideration. In this regard, in order to provide
protection for the “permanent” connections, a mechanism for updating the session key is
specified within this standard, based upon the TLS features of session resumption and
session re-negotiation while also considering the relationship with certificate revocation state
information.
Another issue addressed within this standard is how to achieve interoperability between
different implementations. TLS allows for a wide variety of cipher suites to be supported and
