“…They showed that their scheme provides trust, anonymity, and mutual authentication, with reduced energy, communication, and computational overheads for resource-constrained SMs. Recently in 2020, Sureshkumar et al [16] proposed a mutually authenticated key agreement scheme between the SMs and NG by which NG can initiate the communication. Their proposed protocol has been proven to be secure using the formal methods Gong, Needham, and Yahalom logic, and the automated ProVerif tool.…”

It is well established that the efficiency, safety, flexibility, and reliability of the power grid is improved by utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in smart grid. Nevertheless, the use of ICT introduces serious challenges regarding security issues, which has led to introducing many protocols for securing the communication between the smart meters and neighborhood gateways in recent years. However, providing functional and security features such as two-way communication and resistance against memory attack, alongside the lightweight design is the ultimate goal of these schemes. To overcome all the mentioned problems, this paper proposes a super-lightweight secure protocol based on only one-way hash functions and XOR operation, which provides two-way communication and secure one-time pad key for each data transmission. The security and performance analysis shows that not only does the proposed scheme resist the existing attacks but also it dramatically improves the efficiency in terms of storage burden and computational cost.

The information exchanged over the smart grid networks is sensitive and private. As such, proper mechanisms must be put in place to protect these messages from security and privacy violations. Although many schemes have been presented in literature to address these challenges, a number of them rarely consider concurrent authentication of smart meters, while some are inefficient or still lack some of the smart grid network security and privacy requirements. In this article, a novel concurrent smart meters authentication algorithm is presented, based on some trusted authority. Formal security analysis of this algorithm is executed using Burrows‐Abadi‐Needham logic, which shows that this algorithm provides strong authentication among the smart meter, utility service provider and trusted authority. In addition, session keys are independently computed and verified between the smart meter and utility service provider with the help of the trusted authority. Informal security analysis shows that this algorithm provides device anonymity, perfect forward key secrecy, strong mutual authentication and is resilient against replay, de‐synchronization, privileged insider, impersonation, eavesdropping, side‐channel, and traceability attacks. In terms of performance, the proposed algorithm exhibits the least communication and computation overheads when compared with other related schemes.

Multiparty computation is raising importance because its primary objective is to replace any trusted third party in the distributed computation. This work presents two multiparty shuffling protocols where each party, possesses a private input, agrees on a random permutation while keeping the permutation secret. The proposed shuffling protocols are based on permutation network, thereby data‐oblivious. The first proposal is n ‐permute that permutes n inputs in all n! possible ways. n‐permute network consists of 2logn−1 layers, and in each layer there are n/2 gates. Our second protocol is nπ‐permute shuffling that defines a permutation set Π=false{π1,…,πNfalse} where ∣Π∣
