“…They showed that compare to previous schemes not only their scheme has better security claims but also it performed better than schemes [11] and [12] in terms of storage, communication, and computational costs. Quite recently in 2020, Kaveh et al presented a mutual authentication scheme based on physically unclonable function (PUF) for NAN communication system of the smart grid [14]. In the proposed scheme, a PUF-based one-time pad key has been deployed that leads to increasing the security of the system against brute-force and physical attacks.…”

It is well established that the efficiency, safety, flexibility, and reliability of the power grid is improved by utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in smart grid. Nevertheless, the use of ICT introduces serious challenges regarding security issues, which has led to introducing many protocols for securing the communication between the smart meters and neighborhood gateways in recent years. However, providing functional and security features such as two-way communication and resistance against memory attack, alongside the lightweight design is the ultimate goal of these schemes. To overcome all the mentioned problems, this paper proposes a super-lightweight secure protocol based on only one-way hash functions and XOR operation, which provides two-way communication and secure one-time pad key for each data transmission. The security and performance analysis shows that not only does the proposed scheme resist the existing attacks but also it dramatically improves the efficiency in terms of storage burden and computational cost.

“…The Boneh, Goh, and Nissim ( BGN ) cryptosystem and blinding factors were used to develop data aggregation with a privacy‐preserving scheme to resist the inside attackers from the learning of customer behavior patterns 23 . The Lifted ElGamal encryption method was introduced to provide SM i data collection with privacy and used distributed blinded values for efficient communication during SM i data collection 24 . The privacy‐preserving SM i reading collection scheme was introduced by Schaller et al 25 with the help of blinded values to detect the information leakage during the data communication.…”

Summary Electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption are efficiently monitored and controlled by the next‐generation power grid called a smart grid systems (SGs) with the help of information and communication technology (ICT). Due to this ICT intervention, the SGs are facing a lot of security threats. The main security threats are tampering of smart meters and meter data because they are fixed in the customer places without any hardware security. This may result in inaccurate billing and wrong decisions related to grid management. To overcome these issues, an energy‐efficient privacy‐preserving and physically secure mutual authentication scheme is proposed for providing secure communication in SGs by using the one‐way hash functions, bitwise exclusive‐OR operations, physically unclonable functions (PUFs), and reverse fuzzy extractor. The security and performance analysis section ensures that the proposed scheme provides essential security features with less computation and communication overhead compared to that of other existing schemes. Therefore, it is better suitable for resource‐limited SGs.

“…Since the manufacturing process variations are entirely random, the PUFs responses are usually hard to predict [4]. These unique features of PUF make it very suitable for security applications such as key generation, authentication, and identification [5]- [9].…”

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are known as one of the most recent promising technologies for cryptographic key generation. A PUF circuit is designed in such a way to produce random digits based on true-random and uncontrollable variations during the integrated circuits (IC) manufacturing process. The response of PUF can be used as a unique identity for the device where the PUF is embedded in it. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are usually considered as one of the first choices for implementing PUFs. This paper proposes a novel FPGA-derived Anderson PUF by optimizing all elements located in one configurable logic blocks (CLBs). The experimental results on Spartan-6 family Xilinx XC6SLX9 FPGAs show that the proposed architecture improves the PUF's uniformity, uniqueness, and reliability to 49.41%, 50.89%, and 91.25%, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed structure increases the complexity and unpredictability of the PUF while decreases the hardware area overhead.
