Toward Unified Security and Privacy Protection for Smart Meter Networks

Fan

Abstract

The management of security and privacy protection mechanisms is one fundamental issue of future smart grid and metering networks. Designing effective and economic measures is a non-trivial task due to a) the large number of system requirements and b) the uncertainty over how the system functionalities are going to be specified and evolve. The paper explores a unified approach for addressing security and privacy of smart metering systems. In the process, we present a unified framework that entails the analysis and synthesis of security solutions associated with closely interrelated components of a typical smart metering system. Ultimately, the proposed framework can be used as a guideline for embedding cross-domain security and privacy solutions into smart grid communication systems.
