INTRODUCTION to Amendment 2
This amendment to International Standard IEC 62351-3 and its Amendment 1 (2018) has been
prepared in order to address the following issues:
– Support for TLS versions 1.1 and 1.0 is made optional instead of mandatory to address
known weaknesses. This is aligned with the defined security warnings for TLS versions 1.1
and 1.0.
– Update of TLS version handling during renegotiation and resumption to avoid TLS version
downgrade/upgrade within a same session.
– Updated explanatory text for session renegotiation to make the communication relations
clearer.
– Deprecation of RSA1024 and SHA-1 algorithms. This underlines the desire to disallow them
in the next edition.
– Inclusion of PICS section for mandatory and optional settings in TLS.
– Updated text for and enhancements of security events to better align with IEC 62351-14.
– Inclusion of general remarks for the security event handling.
– Update of references.

Moreover, explanatory text has been included to better describe certain options as well as an
adjustment to the requirements for referencing standards.
2 Normative references
Add the following new document to the list of references:
IEC 62351-7, Power systems management and associated information exchange – Data and
communications security – Part 7: Network and System Management (NSM) data object models
4 Security issues addressed by this standard
4.2 Security threats countered
Replace the existing text of the second paragraph of Subclause 4.2 as modified by Amendment
1 with the following new text:
TCP/IP and the security specifications in this part of IEC 62351 cover only the communication
transport layers (OSI layers 4 and lower). Specifically, TLS protects the transported messages
from OSI layer 5 and above in a transparent way. This part of IEC 62351 does not cover security
functionality specific for the communication application layers (OSI layers 5 and above) or
application-to-application security.
Add, after existing Subclause 4.3 as modified by Amendment 1, the following new
Subclause 4.4:
4.4 Handling of security events
Throughout the document security events are defined as warnings and alarms. These security
events are intended to support the error handling and thus to increase system resilience.
Implementations should provide a mechanism for announcing security events.
It is recommended that the security warning and alarms throughout the document are
implemented by cyber security events as specified by IEC 62351-14 or by monitoring objects
as specified by IEC 62351-7.
Note that warnings and alarms are used to indicate the severity of an event from a security
point of view. The following notion is used:
– A warning was intended to raise awareness but to indicate that it may be safe to proceed.
– An alarm is an indication to not proceed.
In any case, it is expected that an operator’s security policy determines the final handling based
on the operational environment.
5 Mandatory requirements
5.1 Deprecation of cipher suites
Replace the existing text of the second paragraph of Subclause 5.1 with the following new text:
If the communication connection is encrypted the following cipher suites may be used:
– TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA
– TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA256
Replace the existing text of the fourth paragraph of Subclause 5.1 as added by Amendment 1
with the following new text:
– 4 – IEC 62351-3:2014/AMD2:2020
© IEC 2020
The support of SHA-1 is deprecated. Its use is limited to backward compatibility. SHA-256 shall
be supported and is the preferred hash algorithm to be used.
Add, at the end of Subclause 5.1, the following new text:
The failure in finding a matching cipher suite during the TLS handshake shall raise a security
event ("alarm: no matching TLS cipher suites”).
5.2 Negotiation of versions
Replace the existing text of the first paragraph of Subclause 5.2 with the following new text:
TLS v1.2 as defined in RFC 5246 (sometimes referred to as SSL v3.3) is the default version
that shall be supported. Higher versions may be supported.
NOTE 1 This document refers to features defined for TLS 1.2. Higher versions of TLS, like TLS 1.3, do not
necessarily support all features listed in this document.
It is recommended that the TLS client initiating a TLS connection indicates the highest TLS
version supported in the ClientHello message of the TLS handshake. The receiving TLS
server may accept higher versions if functional supported and allowed by the security policy of
the operating environment.
To ensure backward compatibility implementations may optionally support TLS version 1.0 and
1.1 (sometimes referred to as SSL v3.1 and v3.2). The TLS handshake provides a built-in
mechanism that shall be used to support version negotiation. The peer initiating a TLS
connection shall always indicate the highest TLS version supported during the TLS handshake
message. The application of TLS versions other than v1.2 is a matter of the local security policy.
Proposal of versions prior to TLS 1.0 shall result in no secure connection being established
(see also RFC 6176).
NOTE 2 For TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 certain security issues are known, The optional support is only intended for
backward compatibility and it is strongly recommended to switch to TLS 1.2.
Replace the existing text of the second and third paragraphs of Subclause 5.2 with the following
new text:
The proposal of versions prior to TLS 1.0 or SSL 3.1 shall raise a security event ("alarm:
unsecure communication").
NOTE 3 The option to remotely monitor security events is preferred.
The proposal of versions TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 shall raise a security ev
