Information Security Study on Innovative Power Meter System

Abstract:

This study investigates the RFID based innovative power meter system. The system architecture and business process are improved by adopting standard complied design approach. Open Standards contributes more flexibility, more interoperability, less time consuming to our innovative system developing and play a key role for well emerging and running into global ICT infrastructures. Then a protocol framework to address security issue is provided and it make password based authentication scheme workable to enhance the security strength. RSA based digital signature methods are introduced to achieves a two-way authentication from tag to reader. Proposed protocol framework suits for power meter practical service process and offers potential to upgrade the cryptography methods for future hardware progress. It could be used as the foundation for inducing advanced technique while inspecting the information security requirements need. Our study is helpful for future power resource management system deploying and it is also valuable to address the security problem for mobile reader like RFID innovation system.
