ABSTRACT = {A critical infrastructure provides essential services to a nation’s population. 
Interruptions in its smooth operations are highly undesirable because they will 
cause significant and devastating consequences on all stakeholders in the 
society. In order to provide sustained protection to a nation’s critical 
infrastructure, we must continually assess and evaluate the risks thereof. We 
propose a risk assessment framework that can evaluate the risks posed to the 
security of a critical infrastructure from threat agents, with a special emphasis 
on the smart grid communications infrastructure. The framework defines finegrained risk identification to help quantify and assess exploitable vulnerabilities 
within a critical infrastructure.},
