Description
Summary:The Smart Grid (SG) designates an electrical energy distribution system that automatically and autonomously adapts production to demand. To achieve this balance, the Smart Grid uses a network of sensors and transmission devices. The smart meter, as the key element of the Smart Grid, is an undisputed promise to optimize energy efficiency, but it raises certain questions in terms of data exploitation and privacy protection. Smart meters (SM) deployed in SG systems collect and transmit data to the service provider. Therefore, trust, security, and confidentiality are required in the SG system. Since communications between entities are exposed to attacks, strong protection is needed. In this article, we perform both trust mutual authentication algorithm and soft data transit for the Smart Grid using rotation function. We prove the security of our algorithm against known attacks. To prevent key escrow problems, keys are smoothly updated. In addition, the efficiency of the algorithm against relevant work is demonstrated using real measurements.
