Identity-Based Key Agreement Algorithm for Smart Meter Technology to ensure Anonymity

The adoption of smart grids is happening quickly due to the rapid growth of technology. Smart meters are essential for measuring and controlling energy use in these systems. Smart meter technology does, however, raise a number of security and privacy issues, particularly in relation to the anonymity of user data. Despite the fact that some technique for the key establishment has been provided, these protocols are subject to a variety of security risks. This paper will examine the previously presented solutions and attempt to identify their flaws. We will try to design an Identity-Based Cryptographic solution for key agreements for smart meters based on the findings, which will assure the users’ anonymity.
