Towards a Coefficient Secure IoT Energy Framework within the Smart City:
Advanced Encryption Standard
Abstract
The concept of a smart city is intertwined with a kind of great data
management, and through which, reaching optimal management. The data
transaction and the issue of communication between different equipment
are all defined on the IoT platform. The concept of IoT is a general
keyword referring to the widespread communication between equipment.
Nevertheless, the idea that metropolitan management can be implemented
with the targeted data processing faces challenges. On the other hand,
multicarrier energy management, in which various types of energy
generating structures like microgrids, smart grid, energy hub systems,
transportation sector, etc. converge together in an optimal energy
management program, is of great difficulty. Considering these
challenges, the processes of encryption, dispatching data, decryption
with the algorithm of the energy management plan should be intertwined
and all solved together as a general problem. The current paper has
presented a modified IoT architecture along with a multi-carrier energy
management application through integrating two distributed and
integrated management approaches. In the presented model, each
energy-generating agent in the first layer initially controls its own
internal supply and demand rate implementing distributed management, and
then in the second layer, each agent participates in a macro-competitive
market to achieve the optimal work point. Thus, in the presented model,
the data blockchain building protocol based on The Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) in IOT platform is synchronized with the cloud-computing
center and an integrated energy and data security management program is
run, having the nature of the competitive market according to the block
building time by each agent. According to the results, in this approach,
while achieving the desired answer, the volume of data transaction and
consequently, the time to gain the final consensus may be considerably
reduced.
