Summary: Authentication protocols are commonly used in smart grids for security. A lightweight authentication system using Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF) is proposed to reduce physical attacks. The protocol is found to be vulnerable to server/meter impersonation attacks, but a modification is suggested to fix the security weaknesses. The improved protocol is successfully proven secure through the Scyther tool.

Summary: IoT-enabled Smart Grid (IoT-SG) is a paradigm that enables efficient and secure bi-directional communication between IoT devices and hardware for data collection and transmission. The protocol uses a private blockchain and Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) to ensure security and privacy. The protocol allows Service Providers (SPs) and smart meters to transfer data securely and efficiently in a peer-to-peer network, using a voting-based consensus mechanism to add blocks to the blockchain. Rigorous testing and analysis show that the protocol is efficient and provides significant security properties.
