Future Security Issues in Internet of Energy

Abstract

One of the most popular new technologies today is the Internet of Energy (IoE), which utilizes the Internet for collecting, organizing, optimizing and managing network energy information from various edge devices. In this way, a distributed smart energy infrastructure is developed. As IoE is essentially linked with the Internet, the cyber security concerns for this environment are also significant. Like any other technology connected with the Internet, IoE also is vulnerable to various kinds of attacks and threats. In this paper, we investigate the security issues in Internet of Energy. We study various security techniques proposed or developed for this environment during the recent years and discuss what to expect in the future.
