Privacy and data security for grid‐connected home area network using Internet of Things

Abstract

Sensors with IoT assistance provides secured communication and data integrity inside HAN. Energy reading and information flow from the smart grid, together with sensors, bring about a new perspective on energy management. This paper primarily investigates the secured data flow in HAN and assures data privacy of customers during critical and emergency operations. Data are made available in real time with minimum transit time delay. Devices are continuously monitored for vital and emergency services. This paper focuses on machine to machine data flow and packet delivery using IoT. It helps in making user's power consumption data available over the cloud and also in customised electronic devices in real-time. This research work showcases the requirements for developing a cost-effective IoT-HAN connected with smart grid for energy aware routing. The advanced design scheme helps to place sensors, and control gateway in a well-defined boundary, consuming less energy for data transfer and data processing. Data flow pattern and packet delivery rate is tested using both simulated and actual data from sensors and concentrators. The obtained results and flow pattern is evaluated using MATLAB and network simulator. The developed IoT-HAN setup is optimally helpful in secured data exchange among different connected devices inside HAN.

Machine-learning-based forecasting models enable accurate predictions with high dimensional, instable, and nonlinear data [21], [86].…”

Contactless Technologies for Smart Cities: Big Data, IoT, and Cloud Infrastructures

“…Once the system design is established (comprised of multiple embedded devices serving as autonomous agents), security and safety are major concerns when managing, storing, computing, and analyzing user data [ 9 , 20 ]. Thus, ICTs must employ smart security schemes ensuring the confidentiality of the data residing in the mentioned devices.…”

“…COVID-19 has demonstrated the effectiveness of CT for different applications and paved the way for even some rural areas which tested BIC-enabled techniques, mainly in industry-based applications, proving their cost-effectiveness. Depending on the actual environment, where such CT are are employed, for instance in construction, transportation, business models, consumer engagement policies, etc., they can furnish a plethora of additional features [ 9 ].…”

Smart Grids and Their Role in Transforming Human Activities—A Systematic Literature Review

“…In this work, the research is focused on structuring the sources of SGs and their relationship with IoT, but it covers a large number of vectors related to the generation, transmission, and marketing of electrical energy, where the home and the application of sensors for the improvement of people's quality of life is scarcely touched upon. Data privacy and security for the home area network connected to the network using IoT is discussed in [64].
