Student Research Abstract: Trustworthy Remote Entities in the Smart Grid
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been demonstrated that the frequent energy measurements from smart meters could pose a risk to individual privacy. Although various solutions have been proposed, this remains an open research challenge. This proposed research endeavour aims to enhance user privacy by introducing a novel element into the smart grid architecture. The Trustworthy Remote Entity (TRE) is a computational and communication system situated as an intermediary between a group of smart meters and the external smart grid entities. The TRE enhances user privacy by providing a degree of indirection in this bidirectional communication architecture. The proposed research methodology involves first modelling the behaviour of the TRE and then architecting this system using Trusted Computing technologies. Given the current state of smart grid development, it is anticipated that this research will have a significant impact on the smart grid.

Technical Report: Privacy-Enhanced Bi-Directional Communication in the Smart Grid
Although privacy concerns in smart metering have been widely studied, relatively little attention has been given to privacy in bi-directional communication between consumers and service providers. Full bi-directional communication is necessary for incentive-based demand response (DR) protocols, such as demand bidding, in which consumers bid to reduce their energy consumption. However, this can ...
متن کاملTrusted Platform on demand (TPod)
In service-centric, “on demand” computing, establishing stronger trust on networked platforms is a key requirement because these remote platforms are often owned and managed by separate entities. The research described in this paper is an architecture and implementation called Trusted Platform on Demand (TPod), which increases the trustworthiness of networked platforms by combining dedicated se...

متن کاملA Robust and Effective Smart-Card-Based Remote User Authentication Mechanism Using Hash Function
In a remote user authentication scheme, a remote server verifies whether a login user is genuine and trustworthy, and also for mutual authentication purpose a login user validates whether the remote server is genuine and trustworthy. Several remote user authentication schemes using the password, the biometrics, and the smart card have been proposed in the literature. However, most schemes propo...

Trusted computing is one of the most important technologies to ensure the information security of smart grid. Remote attestation can guarantee the trusted access of interactive terminals of smart grid (SGIT).The existing remote attestation schemes have the following disadvantages: The verifier initiates authentication request, and the attestor returns the platform configuration information. T...
