The Trusted Energy Interoperability Alliance (TEIA) defines universal data security and interoperability protocols for energy
Regardless of the application, data format, end-point, or device type, TEIA standards bring enhanced interoperability between diverse energy generators, transmission and distribution networks, and consumers across the distributed energy ecosystem.
A new trust model to manage assets for an era of distributed digital energy
TEIA’s Constructive Trust Model supports multiple frameworks – from traditional PKI with X.509 certs to distributed ledgers and beyond – with dynamic and diverse constructive trust architectures that can be bootstrapped from the ground up.
Zero trust
No message is implicitly trusted, every message is explicitly verified.
Network independent
Security, authenticity, and reliability of communications are independent of the underlying network layer security and protocols.
Distributed networking
Communication between distributed, heterogeneous endpoints, even over distant networks with intermittent connectivity.
Trustable endpoints
Endpoints are trusted explicitly using attestation within a predefined, robust and explicit framework.
Mitigate risk with an open approach for connecting multi-party data and devices
Proprietary, siloed, vertically integrated solutions are encrypted in ways that make it difficult and costly to conduct daily activities such as internal planning, operations, maintenance, and optimization across diverse asset and technology portfolios.
TEIA frees data locked in proprietary silos and allows participants to securely interconnect and share data without the need for any security guarantees in the underlying IT networks, This eliminates security gaps and system exploits otherwise available to malicious actors.
Universal protocols to connect systems from multiple vendors, driving significant business value
Facilitate cost reduction
Reduce the need for custom integrations, and lower operational expenses
Enhance risk management
Gain implicit trust to mitigate operational and systemic risks and protect against data breaches
Accelerate time-to-market
Deploy safe, interoperable and AI-enabled energy systems that are market-reaady
