Abstract

As a vital component of the "Ubiquitous Power Internet of Things" communication network, the key management of distributed energy storage charging pile communication systems is pivotal to the successful implementation of information security measures. Consequently, achieving lightweight security authentication and communication protection across vast numbers of heterogeneous devices has become an urgent priority. This paper proposes a lightweight network authentication scheme for distributed energy, energy storage, and charging pile systems based on quantum cryptography technology (Charging Pile Key Management Scheme, CPKMS). By integrating pre-shared symmetric keys with public key certificate mechanisms, it ensures efficient and secure network authentication and data transmission for terminal devices operating in resource-constrained environments. Analysis demonstrates that this scheme possesses resistance to forgery attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and replay attacks, balancing security and efficiency to meet the security requirements for network access key management in distributed energy storage and charging pile systems.

Lightweight Quantum-Key-Enhanced Security Scheme for Power Load Control Systems

Wei Liu, Hai Wang, Gang Sun +3 more

This paper presents a security solution for power load control systems by integrating quantum key technology to address the security challenges encountered by traditional encryption methods in power systems. Conventional identity authentication and key exchange schemes often depend on pseudorandom number generators, which are susceptible to various attacks. The proposed scheme leverages quantum random number generation combined with symmetric encryption techniques to design an anonymous authentication protocol, aimed at safeguarding data transmission and load control processes within the power system. Specifically, the scheme includes a three-phase registration process and a two-phase authentication process to ensure secure communication between the Power Load Management System (PLS) and the Quantum Secure Load Control Terminal (QLT). During the registration phase, the PLS registers with the quantum key center, while the QLT registers with the quantum key center via the PLS. In the authentication phase, the scheme supports initial and rapid re-authentication using quantum keys and pseudonym technology to prevent identity spoofing, data tampering, and replay attacks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme maintains high security while offering reduced computational overhead and increased efficiency, making it well-suited for resource-constrained power system environments.

Quantum-Resistant Certificateless Lattice-Based Signature Scheme for IoT Security

Gurram Sunitha, Basi Reddy.A, K J Abinava Jashwanth +3 more

The rapid proliferation of IoT technology has brought billions of devices into play that need to operate in a variety of diverse, resource-constrained environments. Secure authentication among these devices is a critical challenge, as traditional certificate-based public key infrastructures incur heavy computation and management overhead. Moreover, recent breakthroughs in quantum computing put at risk the security of classical cryptographic algorithms commonly used in IoT systems. This paper proposes a post-quantum certificateless authentication framework designed to address the efficiency-long-term security requirements of IoT environments. The proposed framework uses lattice-based cryptography to resist quantum-enabled adversaries while eliminating the need for digital certificates. The certificateless approach evades the problem of key escrow of identity-based cryptography and simplifies the key management process. A lightweight authentication protocol, which is suitable for constrained IoT devices, is developed. Security analyses prove that our proposed framework resists common attacks such as impersonation, replay, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The performance evaluation shows that our proposed framework reduces the communication and computational overheads compared with the traditional certificatebased authentication schemes. In this way, it is appropriate for large-scale and futureproof deployments of IoT systems.

Yuancheng Li, Pan Zhang, Rong Huang

The rise of the smart grid, which applies the Internet and smart metering technologies to the power system, results in massive, heterogeneous power data and a large number of attacks on the smart grid and causes great threats to the confidentiality and integrity of the power data. At the same time, with the development of quantum information, it is possible to use quantum cryptography to protect data transmission. Aiming at the problem of data security transmission in smart grid, this paper proposes a lightweight transmission scheme for power data security. In the scheme, we combine quantum cryptography with ”one-time pad” mechanism, use a quantum random number generator which compensates the defects of the traditional random number generator and quantum key distribution protocol which ensure the security of key distribution, and design a new lightweight stream cipher encryption algorithm. Through theoretical analysis and experiments, it is proved that the proposed transmission scheme can ensure the security of power data transmission.
