Abstract

Smart grid is a combination of traditional power grid and many systems and networks including a variety of energy and operational measures such as smart meters, smart supplies, renewable energy sources and efficient energy sources. All these facilities and systems in smart grid, are integrated to provide a supervised and two-way commutation network for the grid. This new infrastructure of developing power distribution grid, utilizes a digital collection system called smart grid. Due to the rapid development and the sensitive data transmitted in this grid, different security challenges arise. Among them are privacy of smart meters, secure data transmission and a variety of attacks which may threaten network security. Given the security challenges in the smart grid, there are a variety of attacks e.g. denial of service (DoS), man in the middle (MITM), replay attack and spoofing that can affect the integrity of network data and the authentication of network devices and users.

Further, there are other threats such as various viruses and attacks which may compromise the security and confidentiality of network data. In this paper, we have proposed a robust ECC-based mutual authentication and key exchange scheme to generate a separate session key for each session in communication. The aim of the proposed scheme is to enable smart grid entities to establish a low-cost and secure 2-step handshake communication. Moreover, it supports a robust mutual authentication mechanism. It consists of two steps, registration process and key agreement.
