5.Analysis of the importance of power communication business

With the increasing scale of power grid，the improvement of power grid complexity，as the power grid support network of power communication network business has diversified，covering a wide range of features，covering transmission，substation，power generation，scheduling and other power grid links.According to the traditional business division，power communication business includes four categories：voice business，data services，video services and multimedia services.Each type of communication services in the power system production and operation of different functions，the reliability of communication，security，real-time requirements are also different.

6.Communication network security definition

6.1 Information security

Power communication network as the main carrier of information transmission，its security is one of the key issues in information security.To clarify the meaning of communication network security，we must first define the information security，information security usually refers to the information in the collection，transmission，storage and application process，such as integrity，confidentiality，availability，controllability and non-repudiation.In order to achieve the above information security，the need to establish information security management mechanism，the development of information security strategy；the development of information security evaluation standards to assess and divide the security level；use of security management，products and networks to protect the collection，transmission，storage and application of confidentiality Integrity，availability，controllability，and non-repudiation；the application of detection mechanisms to learn about the current security state；through failure and disaster recovery mechanisms to solve the problems.Information network security refers to the reliability and survivability of the communication network itself（bearer network and service network）in the process of transmitting the service provided by the network；the availability and controllability of the network service；the integrity of the information in the information transmission process Sex，confidentiality and non-repudiation.

6.2 Communication network security

Communication network security usually includes bearer network and service network security，network service security and information transmission security.Communication network security does not involve ideological security.Bearer network and service network security include network reliability and survivability.Network reliability and survivability rely on environmental security，physical security，node security，link security，topology security，system security and other aspects to protect.Here bearer network and business network is to have their own nodes，links，topology and control of the network，such as transmission network，Internet，telephone network，mobile communication network，support network and other telecommunications networks.

Network service security includes service availability and service controllability.Service availability is related to bearer network and service network reliability and maintenance capabilities.Service control depends on service access security，and services to prevent denial，service anti-attack and other aspects to protect.Services can be provided by the network voice services，VPN services，Internet services.

Information security includes information integrity，confidentiality and non-repudiation.Information integrity can rely on packet authentication mechanism to protect；information confidentiality can rely on encryption mechanisms and key distribution to protect；information can not rely on digital signatures and other technical support.In the process of building information security system，the following points need to focus on.

First，fully understand the needs of their own enterprises，the scope and objectives of system construction.

Second，a comprehensive grasp of the status of information under the jurisdiction of enterprises，and according to the standard necessary assignment，and carry out risk assessment on a regular basis.

Third，the full understanding of the importance of the establishment of information security system management department，only a strong management support and cross-sectoral teamwork in order to truly implement the system management.Fourth，we must continue to carry out the system of publicity，so that all employees can really realize that the information security system is a continuous process of recycling，there is no immutable management，there is no immutable technical means.Only in the joint efforts of all staff，so that information security throughout the production and operation of all aspects of the full attention to the above four aspects of the problem，in order to build a good information security system，run well in order to continuously improve the level of enterprise information security management.

7.Conclusion

The smart grid combines the power system with the informatio

n communication system to realize the highly integrated integration of the power flow，the information flow and the business flow.The security of power communication network has become an important guarantee for the secure communication information platform of strong smart grid.The traditional characteristics of power communication network performance for the day without interruption，high reliability，special closed，effectively put an end to a large number of external risks.At the same time，data communication network technology is gradually penetrating to the transmission，access，exchange，signaling，support，mobile，billing，management and other networks.However，the data communication network technology for the power communication network to reduce the cost of hardware and software，bringing the development of operation and maintenance services convenience，but also the introduction of additional security risks.Therefore，the construction of power communication network security system architecture to protect the power of data communication network to facilitate the process of avoiding disadvantages，the power communication network risk control within the acceptable range，is necessary.
