PRIVACY-PRESERVING SMART METERING WITHOUT A TRUSTED-THIRD-PARTY

Abstract

Smartmeters report the current electricity consumption over the internet back to their energy providers. Finelysampled power consumption enables the energy provider to learn the habits of the customer’s household in which the smart meter is installed. This paper presents a protocol which preserves customer privacy but also allows the detection of unregistered smart meters and prevents spamming and replay attacks. A trustedthird- party is not needed. This protocol, whose security proof relies on the strong RSA assumption and the random oracle model, is based on zero-knowledge techniques. The protocol has been implemented on different hardware platforms and benchmark results are given.
