Green Hills Software has added to its secure software tools for smart metering which it said provides the core technologies required to develop, deliver, and maintain secure, resilient, smart grid devices. 

The platform includes a full suite of ISS Security Toolkits for the smart grid device development.

There is ISS IPsec/IKEv2 technology to provide cryptographically secure design for IP communications. It provides authentication, data encryption, and message integrity for embedded devices.

The ISS SSH Secure Server provides a portable ANSI C SSH SDK for interactive shell and tunneled TCP/IP security. This capability provides an interactive secure telnet replacement, where shell communications are encrypted in the SSH secure tunnel.

In addition, ISS SSH can be used for as a general purpose security tunnel using the SSH exec protocol.

Another component in the ISS Security Protocol Toolkit is the ISS SSL Security stack. This stack is ideal in the smart grid sector as it enables standards-based secure communications from machine-to-machine across wired and wireless technologies.

The ISS Secure Loader capability is a secure installer and boot loader SDK designed specifically for the security of embedded platforms.
