This document provides the technical design specifications that are required for Keyless Infrastructure Security Solution (KISS) development, including, definitions and roles of the new KISS-related products—GridAware and LinkLite—an overview of the DNP3 communications the VOLTTRON™ DNP3 agent is using for distribution control, data flow, historian processing, setup, and installation. These technical specifications provide step-by-step instructions for configuration, implementation, and deployment of the KISS subsystem, docket creation, and verification using the GridAware dashboard. Based on this document and the KISS specification requirements and device risk assessment documents, KISS will be developed by integrating keyless signature infrastructure (KSI) blockchain to increase the cybersecurity, integrity, and trustworthiness of critical energy delivery systems (EDSs). The KISS architecture consists of a VOLTTRON™ agent-based distribution control system platform and GridAware (KSI blockchain capability) for secure energy exchanges in a decentralized electrical network.
