“…Li and Hong [19] proposed a signature scheme for wireless sensor networks and based on the signature scheme they devised a certificate-less access control scheme. The authentication scheme of Li et al [20] enables batch verification in the message verification process, which significantly reduces the computation cost. Lu et al [21] proposed a secure and privacy-preserving framework for healthcare emergency, the scheme enables two users to authenticate each other without the help of a trusted third party.…”

A Bilinear Map Pairing Based Authentication Scheme for Smart Grid Communications: PAuth

Smart meters have been widely applied in the smart grid, and they enable two-way communication in the smart grid. User's electricity consumption data and other data are transmitted between the entities. It is necessary to ensure the security of this two-way communication. Several authentication schemes have been proposed to solve this problem. Recently, Mahmood et al. proposed an authentication scheme for the smart grid. However, we find that their scheme cannot provide the perfect forward secrecy and private key privacy as they have claimed. An improved version by Abbasinezhad is found to be subject to replay attack, too. In this paper, a bilinear map pairing-based authentication and key establish scheme is proposed, which can withstand the aforementioned attacks and achieves more security features, private key privacy, perfect forward privacy, and message integrity. We designed a simpler registration scheme, which implements the same functionalities, while the computation cost is reduced. We also conducted a formal security analysis of the proposed scheme, and the result shows that the proposed scheme is secure. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme has a comparable communication cost and computation cost.INDEX TERMS Smart grid, elliptic curve, bilinear map, authentication and key establishment, private key secrecy.

“…They also introduced an incremental verification technique that allows the collector node to identify SMs feeding fake CDs. Li et al [30] proposed an efficient and fault-diagnosable authentication architecture for AMI, which is also based on the BLS signature scheme. To further reduce overheads, Lu et al [8] proposed a scheme which packs user's multidimensional CDs into a single ECD, whereas Ruj and Nayak [9] proposed a decentralized aggregation method, in which data are aggregated at local gateways en route for a central entity.…”

This paper proposes a novel solution, called a decentralized, efficient, privacy-preserving, and selective aggregation (DEP2SA) scheme, designed to support secure and user privacy-preserving data collection in the advanced metering infrastructure. DEP2SA is more efficient and applicable in real-life deployment, as compared with the state of the art, by adopting and adapting a number of key technologies: 1) it uses a multi-recipient system model, making it more applicable to a liberalized electricity market; 2) it uses the homomorphic Paillier encryption and selective aggregation methods to protect users' consumption data against both external and internal attacks, thus making it more secure; 3) it aggregates data at the gateways that are closest to the data originator, thus saving bandwidth and reducing the risk of creating a performance bottleneck in the system; and 4) it uses short signature and batch signature verification methods to further reduce computational and communication overheads imposed on aggregating nodes. The scheme has been analyzed in terms of security, computational, and communication overheads, and the results show that it is more secure, efficient, and scalable than related schemes.

“…Compared with previous studies, this protocol was more efficient due to the usage of ECC, but a primitive password should be preloaded between an appliance and the Home Area Network controller, which made this solution hard to scale and might arouse an intractable problem of password table maintenance. Recently, Li et al proposed fault-diagnosable authentication architecture for advanced metering infrastructure in smart grid [ 19 ]. Since this work only focused on authentication, key negotiation was not considered in the proposed authentication mechanism.…”

Elliptic Curve Cryptography-Based Authentication with Identity Protection for Smart Grids

2016

In a smart grid, the power service provider enables the expected power generation amount to be measured according to current power consumption, thus stabilizing the power system. However, the data transmitted over smart grids are not protected, and then suffer from several types of security threats and attacks. Thus, a robust and efficient authentication protocol should be provided to strength the security of smart grid networks. As the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system provides the security protection between the control center and substations in most smart grid environments, we focus on how to secure the communications between the substations and smart appliances. Existing security approaches fail to address the performance-security balance. In this study, we suggest a mitigation authentication protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography with privacy protection by using a tamper-resistant device at the smart appliance side to achieve a delicate balance between performance and security of smart grids. The proposed protocol provides some attractive features such as identity protection, mutual authentication and key agreement. Finally, we demonstrate the completeness of the proposed protocol using the Gong-Needham- Yahalom logic.
