Abstract
This paper explores Time-Valid One-Time-Signature (TV-OTS) as a data authentication protocol for potential use in smart grid applications. TV-OTS is highly configurable with computationally lightweight signing and verification processes, making it a strong candidate for smart grid use. A detailed analysis of security against brute force attacks is presented, which is critical to understanding the parameters under which TV-OTS is reliably secure. This analysis is used to choose applicable parameters for latency tests of a full TV-OTS implementation. Performance results are favorable, with the cost of combined signing and verifying reaching under 10 milliseconds.
本文探讨了Time-Valid one - time signature (TV-OTS)作为一种数据认证协议在智能电网应用中的潜在应用。TV-OTS具有高度可配置的计算轻量级签名和验证过程,使其成为智能电网使用的有力候选者。详细分析了针对暴力攻击的安全性,这对于理解TV-OTS可靠安全的参数至关重要。此分析用于为完整TV-OTS实现的延迟测试选择适用的参数。性能结果很好,联合签名和验证的成本低于10毫秒。
