While public charging stations are typically used for Electric Vehicle (EV) such as charging, home microgrids that may act as private charging stations are also expected to be used for meeting the …
Smart meters operate based on their firmware ruling the hardware. The firmware occasionally needs to be updated to fix bugs and improve the services. Since the smart meter firmware is proprietary, …
The Smart Grid (SG) initiative introduces a two-way communication between utility companies and the consumers thanks to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) networks. One of the most crucial comp…
In this paper, a game-theoretical solution concept is utilized to tackle the collusion attack in a SDN-based framework. In our proposed setting, the defenders (i.e., switches) are incentivized not …
Recent research demonstrated that software defined networking (SDN) can be leveraged to enable moving target defense (MTD) to mitigate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The network stat…
Homomorphic encryption allows arithmetic operations to be performed on ciphertext and gives the same result as if the same arithmetic operation is done on the plaintext. Homomorphic encryption has …
Genetic Algorithms work iteratively from generation to generation to find the optimal solution of optimization problems. However, due to the probabilistic operations of Genetic Algorithms (GAs),…
One of the most common methods to preserve consumers’ private data is using secure in-network data aggregation. The security can be provided through the emerging fully (FHE) or partial (PHE) h…
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) applications for Smart Grid (SG) typically employ wireless mesh based data collection approaches that collect smart meter data via multi-hop routing. One o…
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology and its evolutions are promising candidate technologies to support smart meter communications. However, smart meter traffic is uplink heavy and need…
