It has been demonstrated that the frequent energy measurements from smart meters could pose a risk to individual privacy. Although various solutions have been proposed, this remains an open research challenge. This proposed research endeavour aims to enhance user privacy by introducing a novel element into the smart grid architecture. The Trustworthy Remote Entity (TRE) is a computational and c...

The energy need is growing rapidly due to the population growth and the large new usage of power. Several works put considerable efforts to make the electricity grid more intelligent to reduce essentially energy consumption and provide efficiency and reliability of power systems. The Smart Grid is a complex architecture that covers critical devices and systems vulnerable to significant attacks....
