Encryption for End-User Privacy: A Cyber-Secure Smart Energy Management System

One of the most significant benefits of the smart grid is the capacity to monitor, manage, and anticipate energy use. While the smart grid has many advantages, it also has some drawbacks, including concerns about customer privacy. Information about a customer's habits and activities, such as which electrical equipment they are using or whether they are at home or not, can be gleaned from the ability to track their energy use. Homomorphic encryption is used to preserve the privacy of customers in this article. Customers' personal information is protected using homomorphic encryption, which allows the energy supplier to execute actions on the data even if it is encrypted. These approaches are being tested on Raspberry Pi’s in addition to the work done previously to see whether they can be applied to devices with less processing power.
