IEEE 1686 5.4: Data confidentiality, including encrypted serial communications

What does 5.4 require?

The IED protects the confidentiality of credentials, configuration data and communications. Table 1 moves here the 2013 cryptographic features and techniques (shared with 5.3), encrypting serial communications (now 5.4.2), and the ID and password controlled features of the configuration software: viewing configuration data, and changing it with (a) full access, (b) change tracking of every change, (c) monitoring of use, recording when each user starts and stops using the tool, and (d) logging of each download of configuration or firmware to the IED.
