초록

스마트 그리드는 효율적인 에너지 생산과 소비, 관리를 지원해주는 전력망 시스템으로 다양한 분야와 산업에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 공개된 네트워크를 통해 서비스가 제공되는 환경에서는 보안 취약점과 개인정보 침해에 대한 신뢰 문제 해결은 필수적이다. 특히, 스마트 미터 단말의 식별정보는 중앙화된 서버를 통해 일괄적으로 관리되며, 중앙화된 관리 구조는 단말기 탈취, 데이터 위조 및 변조, 삭제 등 공격에 취약하다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 탈중앙 분산원장 기술인 블록체인을 활용한 스마트 미터 인증 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 블록체인을 통한 개별 스마트 미터 단말의 고유한 분산식별자(DID) 발급과 물리적복제방지기술(PUF)을 기반한 난수 값을 사용하여 데이터의 무결성과 신뢰성을 강화한다. 또한 비정형 보안 분석 및 AVISPA 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 제안한 방식의 안전성을 분석하고 관련 연구들과 비교하여 효율적인 방식임을 보인다.

Smart grid that supports efficient energy production and management is used in various fields and industries. However, because of the environment in which services are provided through open networks, it is essential to resolve trust issues regarding security vulnerabilities and privacy preservation. In particular, the identification information of smart meter is managed by a centralized server, which makes it vulnerable to security attacks such as device stolen, data forgery, alteration, and deletion. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a blockchain based authentication protocol for a smart meter. The proposed scheme issues an unique decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for individual smart meter through blockchain and utilizes a random values based on physical unclonable function (PUF) to strengthen the integrity and reliability of data. In addition, we analyze the security of the proposed scheme using informal security analysis and AVISPA simulation, and show the efficiency of the proposed scheme by comparing with related work.
