“…On the other hand, the Metke and Ekl [35] discussed key components for security in smart grids and Rogers et al [39] presented an authentication and integrity approach that used digital signatures and timestamps. Recently identity-based cryptography was considered as good apparatus for secure cloud computing and grid computing as discussed in [42], [30] and [33].…”

Smart grid is a technological innovation that improves efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of electricity services. It plays a crucial role in modern energy infrastructure. The main challenges of smart grids, however, are how to manage different types of front-end intelligent devices such as power assets and smart meters efficiently; and how to process a huge amount of data received from these devices. Cloud computing, a technology that provides computational resources on demands, is a good candidate to address these challenges since it has several good properties such as energy saving, cost saving, agility, scalability and flexibility. In this paper, we propose a secure cloud computing based framework for big data information management in smart grids, which we call "Smart-Frame." The main idea of our framework is to build a hierarchical structure of cloud computing centers to provide different types of computing services for information management and big data analysis. In addition to this structural framework, we present a security solution based on identity-based encryption, signature and proxy re-encryption to address critical security issues of the proposed framework.

“…Smart meters, along with power instrumentation and monitoring sensors, form the core of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) aimed at maintaining high levels of performance, reliability, and manageability. Nevertheless, researchers have expressed their deep concern about the need to integrate a security infrastructure with the smart grid's AMI [4] [5]. The reason behind this concern is the fact that many smart grid projects are widely using advanced communications networks to link numerous sensors and smart meters for connecting consumers with the utility providers so as to exchange information bidirectionally.…”

A smart grid is modernized electrical equipment that uses analog or digital information in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity. The main challenges of smart grids, however, to manage different types of front-end intelligent devices such as power assets and smart meters efficiently, and how to process a huge amount of data received from these devices. Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. It relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale. This Cloud computing technology is used to address the challenges of Smart grid. The system consists of secure cloud computing based framework for big data information management in smart grids. It has a hierarchical structure of cloud computing center to provide different types of computing services for information management and big data analysis. In addition to this structural framework, a security solution is proposed based attribute based encryption to address critical security issues of the proposed framework.

Abstract-Cloud computing is delivery of services rather than a product and among different cloud deployment models, the public cloud provides improved scalability and cost reduction when compared to others. Security and privacy of data is one of the key factors in transitioning to cloud. Typically the cloud providers have a demilitarized zone protecting the data center along with a reverse proxy setup. The reverse proxy gateway acts as initial access point and provides additional capabilities like load balancing, caching, security monitoring capturing events, syslogs related to hosts residing in the cloud. The audit-trail logs captured by reverse proxy server comprise important information related to all the tenants. While the PKI infrastructure works in cloud scenario it becomes cumbersome from manageability point of view and they lack flexibility in providing controlled access to data. In this paper we evaluate risks associated with security and privacy of audit logs produced by reverse proxy server. We provide a two-phase approach for sharing the audit-logs with users allowing finegrained access. In this paper we evaluate certain Identity-Based and Attribute-Based Encryption schemes and provide detailed analysis on performance.
