Abstract:
Advanced Metering Infrastructures use General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for wireless communication in many Smart Grid installations (AMI). In this essay, I go over the authentication and encryption options that are available in GPRS security features and assess how well they work in a Smart Grid scenario. I draw the conclusion that GPRS' usefulness depends on the authentication and encryption options selected, as well as on choosing a reputable and trustworthy mobile network operator.
