A Novel Bi-Key Computational Algorithm for Secure Data Transmission in Smart Meter Environment

Abstract

Objective: Smart grid is an entity which dwells on a network of Energy Transmission with Integrated data transmission it works for flow of energy and Transmission of data that is generated by the stakeholders and in return it provides them the required electricity without any hurdles or disturbance. The versatility and integrity of entire network completely rely on the truthful data which gets floated from variety of distributed users in the network. There is a huge chance to get attacked through hijacking of smart communication network. Another concern remains raised about unable to use the existing security algorithm due to the enormous amount of data that gets generated in the distributed environment. So, these issues facilitate to work on designing the security algorithm for providing better security and better efficiency in smart meter communication. Methods: This paper is presented with proposed model with enhanced security that not just only encrypt the enormous amount of data but also it does the work of encryption in very less time. The proposed algorithm is based on bi-key computational algorithm where two different entities are used as keys, with the use of this algorithm the task of finding the original data gets transformed into NP hard problem. Results: The Proposed algorithm is analyzed with existing cryptographic algorithm and found more secure and provide better performance. Conclusion: This paper presents simulated results obtained in MATLAB which Justify the adaptability and acceptability of proposed algorithms for enormous generated data.
