Secure Data Management in Smart Meter as an Application of IoT

Fariha Khan, Aruna Gawade

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving rapidly and hence it becomes a necessity to understand the security challenges that can be faced by the IoT network and devices. The IoT devices are called Smart Objects which are the fundamental blocks of IoT architecture. There are many applications of IoT which include Smart City, Smart Traffic Management, Smart Waste Management, Environmental Monitoring, Smart Meter, etc. This paper discusses one such application called Smart Meter which is an essential block of Smart Grid and the security issues involved in it and the possible methods to overcome it. The security attacks to a Smart Meter can be performed by the premise owner, the utility service provider or an outsider. Usually, the attack happens on the Smart Meter itself or the information/data transmitted by the Smart Meter. This paper presents countermeasures for some of the security vulnerabilities. Rabin encryption crypto-system is proposed to secure the data transmitted between the Smart Meter and the Utility Company.

Keywords: Smart Meter, Smart Grid, security, Internet of Things IoT, encryption, decryption
