Telecontrol equipment and systems - Part 5-7: Transmission protocols - Security extensions to IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols (applying IEC 62351)

Scope

IEC/TS 60870-5-7:2013(E) describes messages and data formats for implementing IEC/TS 62351-5 for secure authentication as an extension to IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104. The purpose of this base standard is to permit the receiver of any IEC 60870-5-101/104 Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) to verify that the APDU was transmitted by an authorized user and that the APDU was not modified in transit. It provides methods to authenticate not only the device which originated the APDU but also the individual human user if that capability is supported by the rest of the telecontrol system. This specification is also intended to be used, together with the definitions of IEC/TS 62351-3, in conjunction with the IEC 60870-5-104 companion standard.
