Lightweight Authentication Technique for Distributed Control of Distribution Network

Propose a two-party anonymous lightweight reverse firewall authentication scheme to solve the problem that the stored data of distributed control smart terminals for power distribution networks are easily attacked. The scheme achieves identity information privacy protection by using random pseudonyms, and the elliptic curve-based construction effectively reduces the computation amount, thus achieving lightweight and low-latency authentication. In addition, the scheme is resistant to attacks. Compared with other lightweight authentication protocols, The analysis results indicate that the protocol offers enhanced security and reduced runtime.
