“…Also, to reduce storage and communication costs in key management, a multi-group key graph structure is proposed in this work. The proposed key graph technique allows multiple DR projects to share a Benmalek et al [49] Benmalek et al [51] Example: Liu et al [48] Yu et al [52] Example: Parvez et al [54] Example: Nicanfar et al [55] Example: Wan et al [32] Example: Nabeel et al [57] Example: Khasawneh et al [4] Hash Chain Example: Delavar et al [58] new set of keys. When a user joins or leaves a DR project, the communication cost for rekeying operations does not increase significantly compared to the cost induced by using separate LKH tree inside each DR project.…”

Smart Grids are evolving as the next generation power systems that involve changes in the traditional ways of generation, transmission and distribution of power. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the key components in smart grids. An AMI comprises of systems and networks, that collects and analyzes data received from smart meters. In addition, AMI also provides intelligent management of various power-related applications and services based on the data collected from smart meters. Thus, AMI plays a significant role in the smooth functioning of smart grids.AMI is a privileged target for security attacks as it is made up of systems that are highly vulnerable to such attacks. Providing security to AMI is necessary as adversaries can cause potential damage against infrastructures and privacy in smart grid. One of the most effective and challenging topic's identified, is the Key Management System (KMS), for sustaining the security concerns in AMI. Therefore, KMS seeks to be a promising research area for future development of AMI. This survey work highlights the key security issues of advanced metering infrastructures and focuses on how key management techniques can be utilized for safeguarding AMI. First of all, we explore the main features of advanced metering infrastructures and identify the relationship between smart grid and AMI. Then, we introduce the security issues and challenges of AMI. We also provide a classification of the existing works in literature that deal with secure key management system in AMI. Finally, we identify possible future research directions of KMS in AMI.

“…Authors in [51] proposed four key management schemes that can simultaneously support security, scalability, efficiency and versatility. The first scheme named as Versatile and Scalable key management scheme for AMI (VerSAMI), ensures secure unicast, multicast and broadcast communications for a large-scale AMI system.…”

“…The minimum amount of computational complexity was obtained by CRT-based GK management (CRTGKM) algorithm but it slightly increase the KS storage space [4]. The IPv6 protocol was employed by the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) [50] in a mesh-based topology. As this topology can easily expand the coverage area of network by performing multicast communication [5].…”

Abstract: The most appropriate communication mechanism for transfer of packets from one source to another is multicast IPv6 communication. Nowadays, multicast communication plays a major role in a large number of communication applications. In this multicast communication, the message privacy attains a highest position. The members of multicast are dynamic so they permit the host members to enter and depart the cluster without the permission of remaining group members and, it can't provide any transfer without the interference of host, this may reduce the performance. For security enhancement in multicast communication Group Key Management (GKM) was introduced.There are three different approaches in GKM and they were mainly involved to overcome the issues of host mobility in multicast communication. The challenges that are encountered by these GKM approaches their requirements and challenges was also discussed in this paper. Finally, some questions and their explanations were provided along with it. These GKM approaches will improve the privacy of multicast communication. So, the packets can deliver to the group members without any interference.

“…In the literature, there are several proposals in this line, and [ 18 ] provides a survey about the most relevant approaches for Key Management System (KMS) in the Smart Grid. Some of the most remarkable ones are VerSAMI [ 19 ], based on multi-group key graph structure, or [ 20 ] created for mutual authentication that supports a more frequent key refreshing because of the savings in resource consumption. Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC) constitutes an efficient technique for authentication based on short key lengths and reduced storages, so it has been the base for some initiatives like the Lightweight and Secure Authentication (LiSA) protocol [ 21 ], which was conceived to support mutual authentication for the Smart Metering Infrastructure (SMI) based on a third (trusted) party that acts as a broker between the smart home and the service provider.…”

Smart meters are of the basic elements in the so-called Smart Grid. These devices, connected to the Internet, keep bidirectional communication with other devices in the Smart Grid structure to allow remote readings and maintenance. As any other device connected to a network, smart meters become vulnerable to attacks with different purposes, like stealing data or altering readings. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more popular to buy and plug-and-play smart meters, additionally to those installed by the energy providers, to directly monitor the energy consumption at home. This option inherently entails security risks that are under the responsibility of householders. In this paper, we focus on an open solution based on Smartpi 2.0 devices with two purposes. On the one hand, we propose a network configuration and different data flows to exchange data (energy readings) in the home. These flows are designed to support collaborative among the devices in order to prevent external attacks and attempts of corrupting the data. On the other hand, we check the vulnerability by performing two kind of attacks (denial of service and stealing and changing data by using a malware). We conclude that, as expected, these devices are vulnerable to these attacks, but we provide mechanisms to detect both of them and to solve, by applying cooperation techniques
