Smart Power Grids Security: Smart Meters and Home Gateway Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of the security issues regarding power grids. It is targeted to use case scenarios, namely smart metering, and home gateway for applications like electric cars and home multimedia contents distribution over the power grid. The scenarios are described, the architectural model of the smart power grid is described at a high level, the actors and data types are identified, and the main security threats are described. The paper gives the relevant services that each actor should operate, to be then detailed in full-fledged service system supporting secure power grid management.

In our proposed system a new decentralized security framework for smart grids, integrating simultaneously privacy preserving aggregation and access control. Aggregation of data at gateway smart meters of Home Area Network (HAN), Building Area Network (BAN), and Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) is done using homomorphic encryption. The aggregation is lossless, and computes the aggregated results ...
