Cybersecurity of Smart Meters

Traditional metering systems are beginning to be obsolete now as we move towards a smarter and more efficient way of metering which is known as Advanced Metering Infrastructure or AMI. AMI brings with it many advantages which includes Remote monitoring of the data, it also provides the facility of instant reading i.e Reading on Demand. But despite all the advantages it does have loopholes that might be used to tamper with the AMI infrastructure and hence disrupt the normal working of the devices hence, security of the AMI becomes an essential part hence the infrastructure must be given the latest security and hence it becomes a topic of research. As, the AMI infrastructure as a whole becomes a soft target by the hackers and attackers for launching various kinds of attacks it becomes necessary to provide the infrastructure a thorough security
