Abstract

Smart grid utility provider collects consumers’ power consumption data for three main reasons: billing, analysis, and operation. Billing needs coarse-grained data where there are no, or minimal, privacy concerns. While analysis and operation needs fine-grained data which can highly explore consumers’ privacy. Hence, consumers might be reluctant to allow for operational metering to protect their privacy.This paper presents detail description of a reliable DNA-based privacy-preserving (DNAPP) scheme in smart grid. DNAPP assures robust authentication, confidentiality, message integrity, and nonrepudiation across the smart grid as well as assuring high consumers’ privacy. The scheme demonstrates many good security features, such as: high complexity of O(n!), light-weight, scalable, minimum overhead, no cryptography key exchange between the communicating parties as each of them can determine the key locally and independently. This scheme does not require any level of modifications to the existing smart grid infrastructure or smart meter. It only requires some software modifications.
