“…If the size of key is higher and the computation power of communicating devices is low, then it will have a bottleneck. 55 In our proposed GBA scheme, we have used (X CS , X SN )-a classified key for session key generation. Once a session key is generated, all communications between the sensor node and the medical expert is achieved through it.…”

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has recently become the norm in medical operations and emergency situations. A physician or a medical personnel is interested in accessing the patients' data from remote locations using IoMT. The patients' medical management system should allow their doctors and family members to have access to the data, especially in emergency situations. Deploying sensor nodes and managing the large amount of medical data generated by these sensors require a system that provides protection against known security threats and a robust mechanism to recover when subjected to attacks. The proposed scheme that provides mutual authentication between user(s) and power generation nodes, and also mitigate against attacks by validating the identity during the authentication phase. Moreover, the proposed scheme, called Grid‐Based Authentication, uses the existing smart grid infrastructure for communications, which is a model of integrated infrastructure in a smart city. Furthermore, the simulation results show that our proposed scheme yields better performance in terms of average throughput, end to end delay, and computation and communication costs compared with other state‐of‐the‐art approaches.

“…Privacy in IoT-enabled smart homes is one of the major concerns of the research community. Ali et al proposed a novel privacy-preserving method for smart grid-based home area networks (HAN) [34]. The proposed approach uses homomorphic Paillier encryption, the Chinese remainder theorem, and a one-way hash function to aggregate data from diverse household appliances.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) has assumed a pivotal role in the advancement of communication technology and in our daily lives. However, an IoT system such as a smart grid with poorly designed topology and weak security protocols might be vulnerable to cybercrimes. Exploits may arise from sensor data interception en route to the intended consumer within an IoT system. The increasing integration of electronic devices interconnected via the internet has galvanized the acceptance of this technology. Nonetheless, as the number of users of this technology surges, there must be an aligned concern to ensure that security measures are diligently enforced within IoT communication systems, such as in smart homes, smart cities, smart factories, smart hospitals, and smart grids. This research addresses security lacunae in the topology and configuration of IoT energy monitoring systems using post-quantum cryptographic techniques. We propose tailored implementations of the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA), N-th degree Truncated Polynomial Ring Units (NTRU), and a suite of cryptographic primitives based on Module Learning With Rounding (Saber) as post-quantum cryptographic candidate algorithms for IoT devices. These aim to secure publisher–subscriber end-to-end communication in energy system monitoring. Additionally, we offer a comparative analysis of these tailored implementations on low-resource devices, such as the Raspberry Pi, during data transmission using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. Results indicate that the customized implementation of NTRU outperforms both SABER and RSA in terms of CPU and memory usage, while Light SABER emerges as the front-runner when considering encryption and decryption delays.

Swift population growth and rising demand for energy in the 21st century have resulted in considerable efforts to make the electrical grid more intelligent and responsive to accommodate consumers’ needs better while enhancing the reliability and efficiency of modern power systems. Internet of Things (IoT) has appeared as one of the enabling technologies for smart energy grids by delivering abundant cutting-edge solutions in various domains, including critical infrastructures. As IoT-enabled devices continue to flourish, one of the major challenges is security issues, since IoT devices are connected through the Internet, thus making the smart grids vulnerable to a diverse range of cyberattacks. Given the possible cascading consequences of shutting down a power system, a cyberattack on a smart grid would have disastrous implications for the stability of all grid-connected infrastructures. Most of the gadgets in our homes, workplaces, hospitals, and on trains require electricity to run. Therefore, the entire grid is subject to cyberattacks when a single device is hacked. Such attacks on power supplies may bring entire cities to a standstill, resulting in massive economic losses. As a result, security is an important element to address before the large-scale deployment of IoT-based devices in energy systems. In this report, first, we review the architecture and infrastructure of IoT-enabled smart grids; then, we focus on major challenges and security issues regarding their implementation. Lastly, as the main outcome of this study, we highlight the advanced solutions and technologies that can help IoT-enabled smart grids be more resilient and secure in overcoming existing cyber and physical attacks. In this regard, in the future, the broad implementation of cutting-edge secure and data transmission systems based on blockchain techniques is necessary to safeguard the entire electrical grid against cyber-physical adversaries.
