AbstractSmart Grid technologies have been revolutionizing the legacy power grid through advanced sensor networks, two-way communication capabilities, and immediate detection of outages. As a critical part of the Smart Grid, the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) can provide fine-grained energy consumption data and report them to a utility company, utilizing electrical smart meters. In regarding the usage of smart meters in AMI, there is a primary concern about how utility companies manage energy consumption data, particularly with respect to consumer privacy. The fine-grained energy consumption measurements can potentially reveal consumer sensitive information due to opportunities of building a detailed energy profile. For instance, the data can indicate consumer's working hours, which in fact can be advantageous for burglars. At the same time, fine-grained energy data can provide insight into energy efficiency and fraud detection as well as contribute to discovering defective equipment. This talk presents various challenges and solutions for secure and efficient Smart Grid communication, protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and consumer privacy. Speaker's Biography
