Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid blockchain-based Identity Management Framework for devices in Microgrid. It incorporates the use of a Public and Private Blockchain platform to store and authenticate Microgrid device identities. It also emphasizes the shared responsibility of the manufacturers to provide the first layer of authentication for the devices they produce. Identities of each device are stored in the private and public Blockchain and authenticated using physically unclonable functions (PUF) and cryptographic functions.
