Tiivistelmä
The use of smart metering systems is increasing very fast. The more devices are connected to the network, the more there are security threats. The thesis was commissioned by Landis+Gyr, which is a leader in the energy sector. This study dives into the cybersecurity part of the smart metering ecosystem.
The goal of this study is to present a detailed theoretical background and an example of the implementation of Transport Layer Security (TLS) in JMS, HTTP and Jetty routes for smart metering. The examples provide basic understanding of the role of backend development to improve data security for smart metering systems. Furthermore, the study explores potential threats to smart meters, strategies and best practices in cybersecurity, potential technological innovations, and future directions.
Research was conducted on the security threats to smart metering systems and their mitigation strategies. The thesis also presents a practical example of a security solution using TLS, a keypair and the Java programming language to protect the communication and secure data in smart metering ecosystems.
The study provides a comprehensive analysis of cybersecurity challenges and ways to overcome them. The practical example describes how security can be configured at a general level. Basic introduction of the smart meters, their communication protocols, and their role in the energy sector is discussed in the study. The study also discusses Landis+Gyr’s contribution to smart energy and smart metering field.
This study aims to bridge the research gap between the cybersecurity aspects of smart metering, encouraging a secure and reliable environment in the field of Smart Metering as a Service.
