Abstract
Smart Grid is entitled to be the new emerging era in the field of the traditional power grid and provides various network functions throughout the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of energy by incorporating heterogeneous smart devices and facilitates with real-time data controlling, monitoring, and bi-directional communication flow. With such positive and effective benefits, tremendous security issues have been introduced which disrupts the standard of information flow over communication channels. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is responsible for simultaneous data collection, analysis, and demand response and hence, considered to be the most potent component of smart grid prone to various despicable cyber-attacks. This study proposes a Hybrid Key Management Scheme (HKMS) to ensure secure communication among AMI entities: smart meter (SM), meter data management system (MDMS), and trusted authority (TA). The proposed HKMS is composed of seven phases and implemented with the hybridization of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (ECDH) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithms intended to certify perfect forward secrecy, integrity, and resistance against replay, impersonation, and man-in-the-middle attack with least computational and communicational overhead.
