Abstract:
This paper considers an approach for partial reduction of the overhead implied by request for data security within the Smart Grid communications infrastructure. A significant part of the implementation and processing overhead appears as a consequence of the data confidentiality request and the related requirement for massive data encryption. Accordingly, this paper points out to the related requirements and employment of certain light-weight and highly secure encryption dedicated to the noisy communication channels.
