Abstract
Smart meters that measure the use of residential energy at fine granularities are the foundation of a future smart electricity grid. In this paper, a novel design of FPGA-based smart meters is proposed to measure the energy consumption and at the same time it provides secure wireless connections with the concentrator in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). A basic idea of this system is to use Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), which is a die-unique challenge–response function, for generating a unique signature of meter based on IC process variations and to use Channel Status Information (CSI) for providing a secure wireless channel between meter and concentrator.
