Smart grid (SG) introduced proven power system, based on modernized power delivery system with introduction of advanced data-information and communication technologies (ICT). SGs include improved quality of power transmission/distribution from power generation to end-users with optimized power flow and efficiency. In addition to above modern automation, two-way communications, advanced monitoring, and control to optimize power quality issues are the classic features of SGs. This ensures the efficiency and reliability of all its interconnected power system elements against potential threats and life time cycle. By integrating ICT into the power system SGs improved the working capabilities of the utility companies. Resultant of ICT with SG leads to better management of assets and ensure energy management for end users. This review article presents the different areas of communication and information technology areas involved in SG automation.

“…The authors implemented the cryptographic elements on two state-of-the-art ARM chips, which was beneficial for the researches in this field. In 2019, Abbasinezhad-Mood et al [10] talked about the present key establishment schemes' security weaknesses, indicated that many solutions suffered from known session-specific temporary information attack, private key leakage, key escrow problem. Then, they proposed a key establishment scheme that could be free from these security challenges and key escrow problem, computational and communication costs were also acceptable.…”

INAKA: Improved Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol Based on Newhope

et al. 2020

The Newhope scheme is one of the milestones of the study in key agreement protocol but it lacks the anti-active-attack capability. In this article, we propose a mutual authenticated key agreement scheme named INAKA scheme based on the commitment value and lattice hard problem. This scheme improves the key encapsulation mechanism in the Newhope scheme to generating the commitment values for both communication parties and thus achieves mutual authentication, key agreement and identity privacy protection at the same time. Firstly, the INAKA protocol is combinable, i.e. the common traditional and lattice-based cryptographic algorithms (encryption, decryption, hash operation) can both act as the protocol components. What's more, the INAKA protocol has been analyzed that it can resist the man-inthe-middle attack, replay attack, and other attacks. This scheme satisfies provable security under eCK and indistinguishable game models. Its anti-attack capability and security are significantly enhanced compared with the Newhope scheme. Besides, the INAKA protocol involves the identity authentication feature but keeps at the same level of computational complexity. None of the existing schemes (such as Ding's and BCNS) are able to satisfy the above feature. Lastly, the test results in this article show the INAKA protocol only needs 8.131 milliseconds to complete mutual authentication and key agreement. The outcome of our work could provide lower operation overhead, handy code implementation, and better efficiency to meet the industrial practical requirements.INDEX TERMS Mutual authentication, authenticated key agreement, lattice, Newhope, key encapsulation mechanism. I. INTRODUCTIONKey agreement (KA) protocol is designed to enable two or more participants to negotiate a common session key on an insecure channel, which allows participants to build a secure communication channel through cryptographic techniques. The shared session key can be used to encrypt and authenticate the information, which plays an important role on ensuring the security of data transmitted. The key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) enables the sender and the receiver to share session keys securely. In a KEM, the initiator encapsulates the session key firstly, and the sender runs an encapsulation algorithm to generate the session key and the cipher text, then, the sender deliveries the encapsulated session key to the receiver, finally, the receiver runs the corresponding de-capsulation algorithm to get the same session key asThe associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Weizhi Meng .

“…A CL-NIKE protocol does not allow the leakage of both x A and D A or the private key. is is very different from authenticated KE protocols because authenticated KE protocols use ephemeral keys [24,25], and the security of the shared key could be guaranteed by the ephemeral keys even if both participants' private keys are lost. In order to realize the noninteractive key establishment, there is no ephemeral keys used in NIKE protocols; thus, the leakage of private keys is not allowed in NIKE protocols.…”

In this paper, we propose a certificateless noninteractive key exchange protocol. No message exchange is required in the protocol, and this feature will facilitate the applications where the communication overhead matters, for example, the communications between the satellites and the earth. The public key certificate is removed as well as the key escrow problem using the certificateless public key cryptosystem. The security of the protocol rests on the bilinear Diffie–Hellman problem, and it could be proved in the random oracle model. Compared with previous protocols, the new protocol reduces the running time by at least 33.0%.
