Service Security for Smart Grid System

One of major application service areas in M2M (Machine-to-Machine) is the smart grid system. In smart grid systems, information and communications technology are used to gather and act on information that is related to the behaviors of consumers and suppliers. The technology is to improve the efficiency, reliability, and economics of the production and distribution of electricity. To make the system more reliable, security is a very important issue. In this paper, we propose secure system architecture and a mechanism to provide security for smart grid system robustness and reliability.
