HBAC: An access control over Semantics-enabled Smart Grids to enable energy-efficiency and lifetime optimization

Abstract

Abstract—Smart grid is deployed with Information and Communication (ICT) technologies using numerous IoT devices. IoT devices are durable and ensures semantic enriched data transformation to smart grid repository. To this extent, devices are utilized with initial installed configurations as smart grid do not have a re-enforcement control over IoT devices. As a result, device may get overloaded with inefficient throughput and huge energy consumption. In this paper, we present a Handshake Based Access Control (HBAC), which re-enforce custom defined configurations over IoT devices. Our proposed mechanism allows smart grid to deploy optimized policy modules over IoT devices. The case study presented in this paper elaborates significance of optimization over device lifetime and energy consumption.
