“…However, the creation and maintenance of a structured overlay network that maps each data key to a peer in the overlay is generally incurring high signaling overheads. Thus, other studies argue that unstructured P2P networks, which do not maintain a rigid overlay network, are more suitable for smart grid applications in which data must be distributed to a large number of interested parties at the same time [241].…”

The European Commission is supporting many projects to reach the European targets in energy savings and diffusion of renewable resources.The BECA -Balanced European Conservation Approach -ICT Service for Resources Saving in Social Housing, is a project in the frame of 7th ICT-PSP program that involves seven different cities in Europe.The target of the project is to build, and spread among the final users, ICT based services that can improve the energy use awareness of people, without a specific education in the use of energy. Some ICT based services: web services and sms services have been developed and applied in three different sites in Torino (Italy), taking into account the peculiarities of each site.In order to modify the behavior of the final users about energy, an ICT service that allows the comparison of energy consumption (actual consumptions vs past consumptions and consumptions vs middle user's consumptions), has been developed. The ICT service has been made available to the final users and operators in the managing staff.

“…To do so, peer‐to‐peer (P2P) networking has been investigated by the research community as a viable and effective approach to ensure scalability, self‐organization and resiliency to the telecommunication infrastructure of smart grids while guaranteeing privacy and security properties to the data collection procedure , and P2P‐based smart metering frameworks entirely composed of off‐the‐shelf hardware and existing communication infrastructures have already been proposed . P2P technologies have also been integrated in the smart grid supervisory control and data acquisition system with the aim of increasing its security and dependability .…”

be accessed by numerous external subjects for different purposes, ranging from billing to grid monitoring. Therefore, to prevent the disclosure of personal information through the analysis of energy consumption patterns, the metering data must be securely handled. Peer-to-peer networking is a promising approach for interconnecting communication nodes among the automatic metering infrastructure to efficiently perform data collection while ensuring privacy and confidentiality, but it is also prone to various security attacks. This paper discusses the impact of the most relevant peer-to-peer attack scenarios on the performance of a protocol for privacy preserving aggregation of metering data. The protocol relies on communication gateways located in the customers’ households and interconnected by means of a variant of the Chord overlay. We also propose some countermeasures to mitigate the effects of such attacks: we integrate a verifiable secret sharing scheme based on Pedersen commitments in the aggregation protocol, which ensures data integrity, with compliance checks aimed at identifying the injection of altered measurements. Moreover, we introduce Chord auxiliary routing tables to counteract the routing pollution performed by dishonest nodes. The paper evaluates the computational complexity and effectiveness of the proposed solutions through analytical and numerical results
