The present disclosure provides systems and methods for remote device management. According to various embodiments, a local intelligent electronic device (IED) may be in communication with a remote IED via a limited bandwidth communication link, such as a serial link. The limited bandwidth communication link may not support traditional remote management interfaces. According to one embodiment, a local IED may present an operator with a management interface for a remote IED by rendering locally stored templates. The local IED may render the locally stored templates using sparse data obtained from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, the management interface may be a web client interface and/or an HTML interface. The bandwidth required to present a remote management interface may be significantly reduced by rendering locally stored templates rather than requesting an entire management interface from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, an IED may comprise an encryption transceiver.

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for eliminating Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) traffic in data networks. In one embodiment, a controller in a software-defined network (SDN) may generate a plurality of communication flows. The controller may program a plurality of network devices in a data plane based on the plurality of communication flows. A packet to be transmitted in the data plane may be received from a transmitting host by one of the plurality of network devices. A destination host specified in the packet may be determined without reliance on an original media access control (MAC) address in the packet, and the packet may be routed to the destination host.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein relating to the secure configuration of intelligent electronic devices. Intelligent electronic devices are used in electric power generation and transmission systems for protection, control, automation, and/or monitoring of equipment. The use of tokens and token-based digital signatures in the configuration process of intelligent electronic devices reduces the likelihood of malicious acts or unintended errors. Tokens distributed to engineers, technicians, intelligent electronic devices, computing devices, and/or software decrease the likelihood of errors being introduced in the configuration process.

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods of restricting access to devices utilizing tokens. In some embodiments, a system may include a user requesting a token, ensuring the user requesting a token has the permission to request the token and is not the user approving the token. In some embodiments, the system may include the user granting the token, wherein the user granting the token is not the user receiving the token. The system ensures that the user accessing the device has the permission to access the device. Additionally, the system decreases the opportunities for insider attacks and increases the resistance to credential theft attacks. Further, the system increases the accountability for changes and the ability to review changes.

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods to identify high-priority traffic within a software defined network (“SDN”) and to route such traffic through physically distinct communication paths. Such routing may help to reduce network congestion faced by high-priority traffic and increase the reliability of transmission of such data. Certain embodiments may further be configured to generate a failover communication path that is physically distinct from a primary communication path. Still further, certain embodiments may be configured to suggest enhancements to a network that may improve a reliability criterion.

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for establishing trust relationships between a software defined network (SDN) controller and a SDN communication device. In one embodiment, a SDN controller may comprise a communications interface configured to communicate with a plurality of SDN network devices. A commissioning subsystem configured to detect a new device associated with the SDN. In response to a new device, a user interface subsystem may be configured to receive a user approval to commission the new device. A trust subsystem configured to establish a first SDN controller trusted credential and to transmit a first device trusted credential based on the first SDN controller credential to the new device. Programming instructions to the new device authenticated using the first SDN controller trusted credential by a SDN programming subsystem.

The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for assessing reliability of communication links in a software defined network (SDN). In one embodiment, a system may include an SDN architecture subsystem configured to generate SDN architecture information and a bandwidth subsystem configured to generate bandwidth information. A latency subsystem may receive the bandwidth information from the bandwidth subsystem and may be configured to generate latency information using the bandwidth information. A failover subsystem may receive the SDN architecture information, the bandwidth information, and the latency information and generate a failover assessment and a failover route for the communication link. A reliability assessment subsystem may receive the SDN architecture information, the bandwidth information, and the latency information, and the failover assessment and generate a reliability assessment. A traffic routing subsystem may receive the reliability assessment and route data traffic to the failover route based on the reliability assessment.
