Blockchain for Secure Energy Trading in Internet of Grids (IoG)
The term “Internet of Grids” (IoG) refers to a network where various elements of the electrical grid are interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT). This involves the integration of sensors, smart devices, and advanced communication technologies within the grid infrastructure to enhance monitoring, control, and efficiency.
This project aims to design and develop a secure energy trading architecture for the Internet of Grids (IoG) using blockchain networks under uncertainty. One significant challenge for the IoG is the need for security, including, access control solutions, that are designed to meet the characteristics of these systems. In a novel approach, blockchain technology and the IoG will be integrated to develop a flexible, scalable, and decentralized delegation model, providing a new access control model, that will not depend upon concrete identity of an entity. Such a model will improve security in large- scale IoG systems while providing for safe and fine-grained policy- management. Among others: (1) This project will examine innovative methods to access blockchain networks for IoG access control and delegation. (2) Develop technology for handing secure and flexible access right delegation without the need for a trusted third-party involvement, this will strengthen security for IoG while addressing the large-scale nature of such systems. This will be a major step forward and highlights the importance for handling the particular nature of the IoG.
