ABSTRACT

In order to solve the privacy leakage that may result from the two-way interaction between smart meters and smart grid as well as the quantum attack problem that may arise in the future, a quantum attack-resistant smart meter identity authentication and key agreement scheme is proposed. The scheme eliminates the overhead of certificate management through identity-based cryptography and takes advantage of the fact that the lattice-based problem cannot be solved in the quantum computer, and achieves that the scheme is resistant to quantum attacks by introducing a lattice-based cryptographic. In addition, only multiplication and addition operations of matrices and vectors are involved in this scheme.
