Security and Privacy in the Smart Energy Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major part in the efforts to increase energy efficiency is the establishment of a smart energy grid. This is supposed to optimize power distribution and facilitate the delivery of fluctuating renewable energy. For these reasons, governments in the EU and US are pressing ahead with legislation for the introduction of smart meters into every household. The precise consumption measurements taken by smart meters, however, also have the potential to significantly affect consumer privacy. In addition, there are great security concerns, due to the sensitivity of the data processed by smart meters, as well as their extensive remote control capabilities. This paper gives an overview about these threats and discusses several possible solutions and countermeasures.
