A Novel Smart Meter Authentication Scheme for Secure Smart Grid Communication

This paper presents the vulnerabilities analyses of KL scheme which is an ID-based authentication scheme for AMI network attached SCADA in smart grid and proposes a security-enhanced authentication scheme which satisfies forward secrecy as well as security requirements introduced in KL scheme and also other existing schemes. The proposed scheme uses MDMS which is the supervising system located in an electrical company as a time-synchronizing server in order to synchronize smart devices at home and conducts authentication between smart meter and smart devices using a new secret value generated by an OTP generator every session. The proposed scheme has forward secrecy, so it increases overall security, but its communication and computation overhead reduce its performance slightly, comparing the existing schemes. Nonetheless, hardware specification and communication bandwidth of smart devices will have better conditions continuously, so the proposed scheme would be a good choice for secure AMI environment.

Smart Grid Communication

The smart meter is one of the most important components of the smart grid, which enables bi-directional communication between electric power providers and in-home appliances. However, the fine-grained metering mechanism that reports real-time electricity usage to the provider may result in some privacy and security issues for the owner of the smart meter. In this paper, we propose a new secure and anonymous smart metering scheme based on the technique of direct anonymous attestation and identity-based signatures. We utilize the trusted platform module to realize the tamper resistance of the smart meter. Moreover, our scheme is able to detect malfunctioning meters in which data is reported more than once in a time period. Finally, the performance and security results show that our proposed scheme is efficient and satisfies the security requirements of the smart grid communication system.

Smart Grid Communication

Lahirnya konsep Smart Grid tidak lepas dari issue global terkait dampak lingkungan hidup akibat penggunaan energy berbahan fosil secara massif yang semakin hari cadangan energy yang tersimpan akan habis dalam beberapa tahun kedepan dan diperlukan sumber energy baru yang terbarukan (non fosil). Implementasi Smart Grid sudah banyak di terapkan dibeberapa negara, termasuk di Indonesia, konsep Smart Grid dan prototipe sudah diimplementasikan dibeberapa kota walau populasinya belum banyak. Pilar utama selain listrik, dalam konsep Smart Grid ini adalah komunikasi dan IT, dimana diperlukan komunikasi dua arah antar mesin dan saling terintegrasi antar grid. Pada kanvas ini diusulkan konsep MUSI (Multy Utility Service Infrastructure) sebagai media komunikasi dalam implementasi Smart Grid dengan menggunakan jenis kabel OPLC (Optical Low Composite Cable), dimana dua infrastruktur yang berbeda menjadi satu konsep. Pada pembahasan ini metode yang digunakan adalah studi literature, pengamatan dan data, ondesk survey, analisa keekonomian (techno economy) dan pengambilan kesimpulan. Hasil dari analisa finansial yang dilakukan bahwa dengan menggunakan model MUSI yang diajukan, NPV dengan MARR 20% didapatkan nilai positif, dan IRR sekitar 34%, sementara jika dilakukan dengan metode konvensional, NPV dengan MARR 20% didapatkan nilai negatif, dan IRR dibawah 0% (negatif).
