Smart Grid Protection with AI and Cryptographic Security

This research study describes a novel way to secure the smart grid system by utilizing cryptographic and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. This research study intends to safeguard the grid from cyber-attacks and minimize grid load through load balancing. At first, the AI algorithms were used to integrate the system and calculate all necessary parameters. Among the cyberattacks that were discussed were virus attacks, data breaches, Man-In-Middle Attacks (MITM), and bogus data injection. The primary tools utilized in this study were IoT devices to gather data from the grid and AI algorithms to identify faults and potential cyberattacks. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices also used cryptographic algorithms to encrypt the data using Asymmetric algorithms like Rivest Shamir and Adleman (RSA) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-512) for securing the IoT devices.
