Abstract
Smart meters in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) collect fine-grained, real-time power consumption data may result in user privacy leakage. Aiming at the problem that existing privacy protection schemes cannot resist quantum attacks, an antiquantum privacy protection scheme in AMI of smart grid based on consortium blockchain and ring learning with errors (RLWE) is proposed. The scheme has the following contributions. First, the RLWE-based secure communication scheme is designed in this article, which ensures the resistance of the scheme to quantum attacks. Second, all smart meters in AMI use anonymous identity to communicate with the control center, and the fine-grained power consumption data is also encrypted and digitally signed to prevent user privacy leakage and tampering of power consumption data. And the scheme does not use bilinear pairings and exponential operations and has efficient computational performance. Third, a two-tier consortium blockchain storage system consisted of regional gateways and data aggregators are designed to eliminate the single point of failure problems of the data aggregators. The practical byzantine fault tolerance consensus mechanism is improved to reduce the communication cost in the consensus process. The scheme's security is proven theoretically, and the experimental results show that the scheme has a low computational cost.
