“…So, we mainly compare signing and verification costs of SDMGP with those of current protocols. Moreover, there are a lot of identity-based protocols for SG, [17][18][19]21,22,26 but only So et al, 17 Gentry and Silverberg, 21 and Liu et al 22 provide signing and verification algorithms. So, we only choose these three protocols for comparison.…”

Message authentication has vital significance for dynamic microgrid partition in smart grid. However, current message authentication protocols based on ''public key infrastructure'' are too complicated to be deployed in smart grid and lack group information management function. On the other hand, group information management protocols based on ''logic key hierarchy'' need to broadcast a lot of messages during microgrid partition processes, resulting in high communication costs. To address these issues, we present a novel identity-based message authentication protocol for dynamic microgrid partition called securing dynamic microgrid partition. Similar to the protocols of this field, securing dynamic microgrid partition can provide message authentication and group information management functions. However, compared to other well-known approaches, securing dynamic microgrid partition uses Bloom filter for managing group information, which can reduce the communication cost of logic key hierarchy significantly. Moreover, securing dynamic microgrid partition uses Lagrange interpolation for designing new identity-based signing and verification algorithms, which is simple to be deployed in smart grid environment and much more efficient than current identity-based protocols. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is feasible for real-world applications.

“…Nicanfar et al [18] developed a key management protocol for data communication between the utility server and customers' smart meters based on an ID-based public/private key pair model [33]. Although this protocol aims to reduce the computation overhead, the synchronization process still demands considerable computation efforts.…”

VerSAMI: Versatile and Scalable key management for Smart Grid AMI systems

In this paper, we propose four new key management schemes for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to secure data communications in the Smart Grid (SG). The schemes are based on individual and batch rekeying operations using a novel multi-group key graph structure, are also versatile in the sense that they can support broadcast, unicast, as well as multicast communications. Security analysis shows that our schemes satisfy key management security properties. Furthermore, performance analysis and simulation results demonstrate that our schemes can scale to large AMI systems, and they incur low cost in terms of storage, communication overheads and time of key distribution compared to state-of-the-art schemes.

“…Unfortunately, this scheme is vulnerable to replay attacks and message integrity can be easily violated. Authentication and key management protocols for unicast and multicast communications are discussed by Nicanfar et al [59]. These protocols provide resistance against various security attacks and generate low overheads.…”

Abstract:The smart grid (SG) is a promising platform for providing more reliable, efficient, and cost effective electricity to the consumers in a secure manner. Numerous initiatives across the globe are taken by both industry and academia in order to compile various security issues in the smart grid network. Unfortunately, there is no impactful survey paper available in the literature on authentications in the smart grid network. Therefore, this paper addresses the required objectives of an authentication protocol in the smart grid network along with the focus on mutual authentication, access control, and secure integration among different SG components. We review the existing authentication protocols, and analyze mutual authentication, privacy, trust, integrity, and confidentiality of communicating information in the smart grid network. We review authentications between the communicated entities in the smart grid, such as smart appliance, smart meter, energy provider, control center (CC), and home/building/neighborhood area network gateways (GW). We also review the existing authentication schemes for the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communication network along with various available secure integration and access control schemes. We also discuss the importance of the mutual authentication among SG entities while providing confidentiality and privacy preservation, seamless integration, and required access control with lower overhead, cost, and delay. This paper will help to provide a better understanding of current authentication, authorization, and secure integration issues in the smart grid network and directions to create interest among researchers to further explore these promising areas.
