This document summarizes two authentication algorithms for smart grids. Algorithm 1 describes authentication between a cloud, reader, and smart meter. It uses digital signatures and timestamps to prevent replay and man-in-the-middle attacks. One-time session keys provide forward secrecy. Algorithm 2 uses bilinear pairings for registration and authentication between two entities. It achieves security goals like preventing replay attacks through timestamps, ensuring message integrity with signatures, and providing private key privacy and perfect forward secrecy through its key establishment method. Both algorithms aim to securely authenticate communications in smart grids.
A novel approach to information security using safe exchange of encrypted dat...eSAT Journals
Abstract In this modern era, with the vast improvement in the field of internet, security is a major issue at hand. A lot of crimes, or to say, hacking is prevalent. This system "Safe Exchange of Encrypted Data (SEED)" handles sharing secret data between the sender and receiver in a cryptic manner by providing a new approach to symmetric encryption with ensured confidentiality, authenticity, integrity and availability of a secure communication, and protection against Man-in-the-Middle attacks even without a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or endpoint certificates, in the unprotected network space. This system makes use of an efficient concept called 'ephemeral shared session key', which being a combination of public and private keys can only be generated at both ends and negates the need of having to transmit a symmetric key between the users. The text data is encrypted using a new symmetric key algorithm known as “Xenacrypt” which is more secure than any other existing symmetric key algorithms. This system provides integrity through an efficient algorithm which we have implemented to indicate data thefts by any malicious attacks or threats. Application of this crypto-system will have a huge impact in the future of transmitting secure data especially in the field of business transaction and military operations.

This document proposes a new technique to solve the key exchange problem in cryptography. It discusses existing key exchange methods that rely on additional encryption processes or pre-shared secrets. The proposed method mixes the cipher key with the encrypted data block such that only the intended receiver can extract both the key and data. This allows key exchange without pre-sharing secrets or additional encryption steps. It aims to provide a more efficient and secure key exchange technique compared to traditional methods.

A Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack is where an attacker secretly intercepts communications between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other. The attacker can view or modify the communications. Examples include the attacker creating a fake Wi-Fi access point to intercept personal information, hijacking email accounts to divert payments, or stealing browser cookies to hijack web sessions. To prevent MITM attacks, people should use encrypted VPNs, sign out of unused accounts, and avoid auto-filling passwords on untrusted sites.
This document discusses various network security protocols and techniques. It begins with an introduction to network security and describes common network attacks such as denial of service attacks, spoofing, sniffing, and hijacking. It then discusses protocols for enhancing network security such as Kerberos, RADIUS, TACACS+, IPSec, and virtual private networks (VPNs).

Understanding computer attacks and attackers - Eric Vanderburg - JURINNOVEric Vanderburg
There are several categories of attackers, including hackers, crackers, script kiddies, spies, employees, and cyberterrorists. Common attacks include password guessing, which attempts to learn a user's password through various means, and denial of service attacks, which flood a server or device with requests to make it unavailable. Malicious software, or malware, consists of computer programs intentionally created to harm systems and includes viruses, worms, logic bombs, Trojan horses, and back doors.
Encrypt header and content separately. Encrypt header with weak encryption to hide traffic pattern. Encrypt content with strong encryption to ensure data security.
Network Security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network
administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification,
or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network
security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, which is
controlled by the network administrator. Users choose or are assigned an ID and
password or other authenticating information that allows them access to
information and programs within their authority.

REAL-TIME INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM FOR BIG DATAijp2p
The objective of the proposed system is to integrate the high volume of data along with the important
considerations like monitoring a wide array of heterogeneous security. When a real time cyber attack
occurred, the Intrusion Detection System automatically store the log in distributed environment and
monitor the log with existing intrusion dictionary. At the same time the system will check and categorize the
severity of the log to high, medium, and low respectively. After the categorization, the system will
automatically take necessary action against the user-unit with respect to the severity of the log. The
advantage of the system is that it utilize anomaly detection, evaluates data and issue alert message or
reports based on abnormal behaviour.

Anonymization techniques are a double-edged sword invention as they can be used by journalists to communicate more safely with whistle blowers or by malicious users to commit cyber-crimes without getting caught but the problem is that neither party is anonymous nor safe from being exposed. In the presentation Mohamed discussed a tool that he developed "dynamicDetect" to de-anonymize TOR clients and browsers and abstracting the user's original IP address and fingerprint. The tool then uses this information as a launchpad to perform defensive and offensive against that TOR user.
The document discusses various topics related to cybersecurity including the increasing digitization of physical devices, high-profile data breaches, privacy concerns over connected devices, and challenges posed by new technologies like virtualization and containers. It also covers security issues on the deep web/dark web and anonymity networks like Tor. The need for advanced defense techniques like behavior profiling and machine learning is discussed. The document promotes formal education, certifications, and industry experience to build a career in cybersecurity and stresses the importance of continual learning.

Comparative study of private and public key cryptography algorithms a surveyeSAT Publishing House
The document provides a comparison of private key cryptography (such as DES) and public key cryptography (such as RSA). It discusses the basic concepts and processes of cryptography including encryption, decryption, keys, cryptanalysis etc. It then describes the DES and RSA algorithms in detail and compares them based on factors like message length, speed, security, vulnerabilities etc. The document concludes that private key algorithms are faster but public key algorithms provide higher security and additional services like non-repudiation.
This document discusses various aspects of network security. It outlines four key aspects:
1) Privacy - ensuring confidentiality of messages by encrypting transmissions so only the intended recipient can understand them.
2) Message integrity - ensuring data arrives at its destination exactly as sent with no changes, which is important for financial transactions.
3) Endpoint authentication - authenticating the identity of the sender to prevent impersonation.
4) Non-repudiation - providing proof of transmission to prevent senders from denying messages.
The document also discusses three levels of network security controls: physical, technical, and administrative. Physical controls restrict access to network infrastructure. Technical controls protect stored and transmitted data. Administrative controls manage user
Computer data can be vulnerable when traveling between computers. Cryptography transforms data using secret codes and modern mathematics, making it safer during transmission. It provides security by encrypting data to protect confidentiality and ensuring integrity and authentication of messages. Common security threats include passive attacks like eavesdropping and traffic analysis, as well as active attacks like masquerading, message modification, denial of service, and replays. Cryptography addresses these using techniques like symmetric and public key encryption.

This document discusses security issues with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and proposes four approaches to address them. DHCP is vulnerable to spoofing and denial of service attacks because it lacks authentication. Attackers can send fake DHCP packets that cause clients to obtain incorrect IP addresses or default gateways. The four approaches proposed are: 1) DHCP snooping to filter unauthorized DHCP packets, 2) DHCP authentication using cryptographic keys, 3) Secure DHCP (S-DHCP) which adds digital signatures to packets, and 4) DHCP authentication via RADIUS. Each approach aims to authenticate DHCP messages to prevent spoofing and denial of service attacks. However, they differ in implementation complexity and adoption challenges.
Cybersecurity is important because it protects all categories of data from theft and damage. This includes sensitive data, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), personal information, intellectual property, data, and governmental and industry information systems.
in the modern day, there are dozens or possibly even hundreds of different interconnected assets, networks, and systems that we rely on every day for the normal functioning of society. Without these various infrastructure components, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the benefits of living in the 21st century – small-scale disruptions to these components would result in the temporary loss of crucial capabilities.
But, if escalated to a larger scale, society would be plunged into a catastrophic black sky event, resulting in cascading failures and a serious threat to human continuity. Examples include conflicts between nations where an aggressor seeks to disable their opponent’s ability to communicate or mobilize. And what better way for a domestic or international terrorist group to sow confusion and fear than to prevent our critical infrastructure from functioning and, in turn, our successful ability to respond and recover?
In other words, it is fundamental to the safety and prosperity of a nation to provide reliable critical infrastructure security.

What Is an IoT Device?
It’s a physical object that connects to the Internet. It can be a fitness tracker, a thermostat, a lock or appliance – even a light bulb.
Imagine shoes that track your heartbeat… and can flag potential health problems. You don’t have to imagine – these “smart” shoes already exist!
How Will It Affect Me?
The Internet of Things has arrived and it’s going to introduce incredible opportunity over the next five years. And while smart things are exactly that, the IoT industry has a long way to go in terms of overall security. Many of today’s IoT devices are rushed to market with little consideration for basic security and privacy protections: “Insecurity by design.”
This puts you and everyone else at risk: from unwittingly being spied on or having your data compromised to being unable to lock your own home. You could even become part of a botnet that attacks the Internet. Your insecure webcam – along with millions of others – could be used to attack the power grid of an entire country.
From dental sensors that can monitor what a person eats to kitty litters that can track a cat’s every movement, it can be difficult to sort fact from fiction when it comes to the Internet of Things. Can you tell which is real and which is not?

Detecting and Preventing Attacks Using Network Intrusion Detection SystemsCSCJournals
Intrusion detection is an important technology in business sector as well as an active area of research. It is an important tool for information security. A Network Intrusion Detection System is used to monitor networks for attacks or intrusions and report these intrusions to the administrator in order to take evasive action. Today computers are part of networked; distributed systems that may span multiple buildings sometimes located thousands of miles apart. The network of such a system is a pathway for communication between the computers in the distributed system. The network is also a pathway for intrusion. This system is designed to detect and combat some common attacks on network systems. It follows the signature based IDs methodology for ascertaining attacks. A signature based IDS will monitor packets on the network and compare them against a database of signatures or attributes from known malicious threats. It has been implemented in VC++. In this system the attack log displays the list of attacks to the administrator for evasive action. This system works as an alert device in the event of attacks directed towards an entire network.
Data security for any organization by using public key infrastructure compone...eSAT Journals
Abstract In Digital world all type of information are moved around the whole world in the digital form. Securities of these digital data are very necessary from the intruder, enemies, and unauthorized individuals for any government and non-government organizations. Security is the protection against danger, criminals and loss. There are many features to security and many applications, ranging from secure commerce and payments to private communications and protecting passwords. Cryptography is one essential feature for secure communications. There are two techniques are used in cryptography one is secret key cryptography and another is public key cryptography. A PKI does not a particular business function; it is providing a foundation for other security services. The primary function of a PKI is to allow the distribution and use of public keys and certificates with security and integrity. The components of public key infrastructure are certification authority (CA), certificate revocation, registration authority (RA) and digital certificate. PKI contain complete information and identifications of there sender and receiver for authentication. In the basis of these identities PKI provide certificates and authentication for secure communication. In this paper study different components of PKI and there uses for secure any type of data. This paper presents the performance of a secure application for private organizations that offers services to both owner and other members of the same organization. The primary focus of this paper is better implementation of PKI with the help of there algorithms.

Security in MANET based on PKI using fuzzy functionIOSR Journals
This document discusses security issues in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and proposes a security model based on public key infrastructure (PKI) using fuzzy logic. Specifically, it first provides background on MANETs and discusses their key characteristics and security challenges due to their dynamic topology and lack of infrastructure. It then introduces the concept of using PKI and asymmetric encryption with public/private key pairs to distribute session keys between nodes. The proposed algorithm uses fuzzy logic to determine the appropriate length of session keys based on discrimination of different attack types on the network. Experimental results show that the fuzzy-based security approach can enhance MANET security.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Height and depth gauge linear metrology.pdfq30122000
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.

2. Introduction
•Smart meters (SMs) now a days are widely used for demand and supply management in SGs.
•It needs to communicate with other entities in the network system. So, there is a need for a secure
communication system that can ensure a secure information exchange between the legal entities
while maintaining its privacy.
•Thus, authentication become critical security component in the smart metering infrastructure (SMI)
which provides privacy preservation in order to provide reliable power services to the SG.
•Authentication is the process that ensures that the communication occurs between two legitimate
entities by verifying their identities.
•of the smart grid communication network can affect the availability, reliability, safety, and
productivity of the power system.
•There is some security issues that can effect on the privacy of the users. Also, because of the high
dependency on communication and networking systems makes the SG infrastructure vulnerable to
different threats. These threats include the potential for several types of cyber-attacks, such as man-
in-the-middle (MinM) attacks, impersonation attacks, replaying, and injecting messages.
2
3. Introduction
Why is this topic important
•To ensure the security of two-way communication between smart grid entities, authentication
and key establishment is a necessary, which enables the entities to verify the legitimacy of the
entity with which they communicate, and to build a shared key with the legitimate entity for
further communication.
•The user needs to authenticate the utility company or its representing node to protect his
privacy by ensuring that his consumption is sent to the right place.
•The utility company needs to authenticate the user to save the network from any malicious user
that can send false data to affect the network performance or shut it down.
•For example, an attacker may change the user’s power consumption readings sent to the utility
by a smart meter, which can lead to wrong decision-making by the control center.

4. Common Challenges
•Security against cyber-attacks like eavesdropping, replay attacks, man-in-the-middle (MitM)
attacks, and impersonation attacks.
•Ensure the integrity of the message while the authentication process.
•Lightweight authentication are needed due to the limited computation resources of the smart
meters.
•Decrease computation and communication overheads.
•Mutual authentication.
•Session key agreement.
4
5. Common Attacks
•Eavesdropping: Eavesdropping is an attack to capture the unauthorized information that is
confidential.
•Replay attack: The external adversary 𝒜 captures the previous message and replays the out-of-
date messages to gateway.
•Brute-Force Attack: Brute-force attack is to try every possible key on a piece of cipher text until
an intelligible translation into plain text is obtained.
•Man-in-the-Middle Attack: A Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack is the attack in which the
attacker pretends to be the right person during the communication and uses the information
received from one side to fool the other side. Both sides of victims feel that they are exchanging
information directly.
5
6. Common Attacks
•Impersonation Attack: A device attack aims to impersonate a legitimate device, such as a smart
meter.
•Internal Attack: An internal attack happens when an attacker is from the organization or has the
assets that can help him to access the unauthorized resource.
•Forward Secrecy: Forward secrecy ensures that even if one session key gets compromised, other
session keys can not be compromised.
•Denial-of-Service Attack: an attacker attempts to prevent legitimate users from accessing
information or services, by targeting the hosting devise

7. Preliminaries - Bilinear Map Pairing
Let 𝐺1, 𝐺2 and 𝐺𝑇 be cyclic group of prime order 𝑞.
Let 𝑃1 is a generator of 𝐺1 and 𝑃2 is a generator of 𝐺2.
Let 𝑒 be a map 𝑒: 𝐺1 × 𝐺2 → 𝐺𝑇 which is called a pairing
The Bilinear pairing has the property that for all 𝑃 ∈ 𝐺1, 𝑄 ∈ 𝐺2 and all 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑍 we have 𝑒 𝑎𝑃, 𝑏𝑄 =
𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 𝑎𝑏.
▪ 𝑒 𝑎𝑃, 𝑏𝑄 = 𝑒 𝑎𝑏𝑃, 𝑄 = 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑎𝑏𝑄 = 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 𝑎𝑏
= 𝑒(𝑏𝑃, 𝑎𝑄)
▪ 𝑒 𝑃 + 𝑃1, 𝑄 = 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 𝑒(𝑃1, 𝑄)
▪ 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 + 𝑄1 = 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄1
▪ 𝑒 𝑃 + 𝑃1, 𝑄 + 𝑄1 = 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 + 𝑄1 𝑒 𝑃1, 𝑄 + 𝑄1 = 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄1 𝑒 𝑃1, 𝑄 𝑒 𝑃1, 𝑄1
▪ If 𝑒 is symmetric then 𝑒 𝑃, 𝑄 = 𝑒(𝑄, 𝑃)

8. Algorithm 1 [1]
There are usually two types of smart grid devices, networked and isolated.
▪ The networked smart grid devices are a part of a smart grid data communication network.
▪ The isolated smart grid devices exist in the area that is not covered by a smart grid communication
network. Isolated devices are resulted from many causes including agreement between the electricity
user and the utility company, and cost-effective considerations not to cover faraway devices.

Man-in-the-Middle Attack. it is not
possible to fool both sides if the
attacker does not know secret
credentials RIDi, RIDSM and RIDTA.
Security Goal 1
Smart Meter Impersonation
Attack. Without having the secret
credentials RIDSM and RIDTA, the
attacker cannot impersonate the
smart meter.
Security Goal 2
𝑅𝐼𝐷𝑇𝐴 = ℎ(𝐼𝐷𝑇𝐴 ∥ 𝑘)
& 𝑅𝐼𝐷𝑇𝐴 & 𝑅𝐼𝐷𝑇𝐴
User Impersonation Attack.
Without having the secret
credentials RIDi and RIDTA, also,
the Password & Biometric. The
attacker cannot impersonate the
user.
Security Goal 3
Privileged-Insider Attack. if the
attacker is insider user and can get
the registration information,
Without having the biometric key
and the password, he cannot use
the mobile device.
Security Goal 4
Password Change Attack. To
change the password to another
password the attacker require
to input the correct ID and the
old password and the biometric
of the user.
Security Goal 5
Suppose an adversary
has stolen mobile device
of a registered user.

41. Algorithm 3
Replay Attack. all these messages
include the timestamps T1, T2, and
T3, validity of the timestamps will
fail.
Security Goal 6
Ephemeral Secret Leakage (ESL)
Attack. The attacker should know
the secrets rui and rsj, also, the RIDI,
RIDSM and RIDTA to calculate the
secret shared key
Security Goal 7
Anonymity and Untraceability. Due
to usage of the random, current
timestamps and the collision-
resistant on-way hash function, the
messages exchanged during the
login, and authentication and key
agreement phases are different for
each session.
