Description
Summary:Smart grids have revolutionized electricity management and distribution, but they also generate and transmit vast amounts of consumer data, raising privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based solution to preserve user’s privacy in smart grids and to mitigates data forgery, profiling, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Moreover, our solution provides security services such as authentication and non-repudiation to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and ensure accountability and traceability. We validate our approach through testing and show that it is a simple, scalable, cost-effective solution with minimal computational processing overhead.
