Abstract
Smart grids are vulnerable to various security threats, such as false data injection attacks and unauthorized access, posing significant risks to the security and integrity of grid operations [1]. This research proposes a novel privacy-preserving access control mechanism using homomorphic encryption to enhance the security and privacy of smart grid data while maintaining efficiency. The proposed approach leverages the capabilities of homomorphic encryption to enable secure data processing and access control in the cloud without compromising the confidentiality of the underlying information. By performing computations on encrypted data, the system can enforce access control policies and process data without revealing sensitive information to unauthorized parties [1]. This is particularly important in smart grids, where data from various sources needs to be aggregated and analyzed to optimize grid operations. Furthermore, the access control scheme ensures that only authorized users or entities can access and manipulate smart grid data, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data tampering. The research methodology involves identifying the security and privacy requirements of smart grid applications, designing the homomorphic encryption-based access control scheme, and developing a prototype implementation to evaluate its performance and security properties. The analysis and discussion section will explore the benefits of the proposed approach, including its ability to preserve data confidentiality, ensure secure data processing in the cloud, and enforce fine-grained access control policies tailored to the diverse stakeholders in smart grid systems. The conclusion will summarize the key contributions of this research and discuss potential future directions for enhancing the security and privacy of smart grids using advanced cryptographic techniques.
