Abstract

In electrical power industry, the objectives of smart-grid development can technically reach through the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), advanced distribution operation (ADO), advanced transmission operation (ATO) and advanced asset management (AAM). This paper addresses the security issues that arise in the communication systems of AMI and ADO using Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON). The communication system architecture with access control mechanism is described. Following the standard registration procedure and based on the challenge-response identification protocol, the mutual device authentication between the OLT and the ONU is also implemented.
