Abstract

Numerous devices in smart grids are deployed at millions of buildings and streets, connected with wireless network and applied the uniform public protocols and standards. It indicates high-risk threats on the privacy and security of smart grids wireless communication. In this paper, two attack scenarios are presented to show the vulnerability of smart grids, and a new encryption method based on dynamic secret is proposed to protect wireless communication.
