Security for IoT based-Energy Internet

Abstract

With the rapid integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the energy sector, the concept of the Energy Internet (EI) has emerged, enabling real-time data monitoring and seamless interconnection between traditional smart grids and renewable energy resources. This paradigm promises enhanced efficiency and sustainability in energy management. However, the explosive growth of interconnected devices and the heterogeneity of the EI ecosystem introduce critical security challenges that remain significant barriers to progress. The main objective of this thesis is to address these security challenges and mitigate vulnerabilities within the EI. To this end, we propose four security solutions leveraging emerging technologies such as blockchain, post-quantum, quantum cryptography, and machine learning techniques, ensuring the continued and secure operation of the EI.
