Abstract

Security of smart energy metering infrastructures is an important issue to address for reliability of sensed data and the authentication and authorization of users of the data. A wireless clustered network has been proposed for the localization and monitoring of smart energy meters. Due to the inability of utility service providers to visit the facilities of consumers regularly results in the difficulty of detecting fraud in good time, when energy meters are tampered with. These tampering, illegal connection and illegal bypass of smart energy meters results in commercial and operational losses. This paper proposes measures to address security issues that may arise in the proposed clustered network for locating and monitoring smart energy meters. The security goals of confidentiality/secrecy, authorization, integrity, authentication and availability and availability that are related to the metering infrastructure are addressed in this paper.
