Light-Weight Security and Blockchain Based Provenance for Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Advanced Metering Infrastructure Security Considerations

The purpose of this report is to provide utilities implementing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) with the knowledge necessary to secure that implementation appropriately. We intend that utilities use this report to guide their planning, procurement, roll-out, and assessment of the security of Advanced Metering Infrastructure. This report discusses threats to the AMI, the likely sources of...

Advanced Metering Infrastructure Security Issues and its Solution: A Review

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is the core component in smart grid. Moreover, two-way communication between the user and the power utility is realized through AMI. Composition of AMI is described. AMI security requirements are illustrated. The threats on the smart meters, communications network, and data collector are analyzed, respectively. Passive and active defenses are investigated....

An ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication.  This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...
