	abstract = {<p>Energy distribution systems are becoming increasingly widespread in today{\textquoteright}s society.\&nbsp;One of the elements that is used to monitor and control these systems are the SCADA\&nbsp;(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. In particular, these control systems\&nbsp;and their complexities, together with the emerging use of the Internet and wireless\&nbsp;technologies, bring new challenges that must be carefully considered. Examples of such\&nbsp;challenges are the particular bene{\textasciimacron}ts of the integration of those new technologies, and\&nbsp;also the e{\textregistered}ects they may have on the overall SCADA security. The main task of this\&nbsp;paper is to provide a framework that shows how the integration of di{\textregistered}erent state-of-the-art technologies in an energy control system, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs),\&nbsp;Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs), and the Internet, can bring some interesting\&nbsp;benefits such as status management and anomaly prevention, while maintaining the\&nbsp;security of the whole system.</p>
