Question

Need help with this project please! Please name the compiler and software used, would really appreciate that information. Don't bother doing the report section on this assignment either. Me and my group will handle it.

This is a group project. Group size should be exactly 2 (unless approved earlier by the instructor). Only ne mi imi ma Design a security architecture for a smart electric metering infrastructure. Smart electric meters have embedded hardware for cellular connectivity, and are able to communicate directly over a cellular connection with a "headend" that is managed by a utility company such as San Antonio's CPS Energy. Due to scale, there could be multiple headends, each of which manage non- intersecting groups of meters distributed across a city. This will be further discussed in class on 04/04. If you miss the lecture, please talk to your friends in the class. The smart electric meters are capable of collecting data every few minutes, transmitting them wirelessly to a nearby headend. Once the data reaches a headend, it is transmitted over a wired network to a server maintained by the electric utility provider. The infrastructure supports the following operations over the network: . The smart meter can send power consumption data at a frequency of 5 to 15 minutes as configured by the utility to the server Meter instant read: the server can get the current reading from a specific meter at any time Group meter read: the server can get the current readings from a group of meters at any time. (After deploying the meters, the server enrolls a meter into a specific group to facilitate group level messaging instead of point to point messaging. Obviously, there can be more than one group.) Connect/disconnect: to enable/disable power connection to the respective home The meter can query the server to get the current unit price of electricity (which is time- varying) The server can send a firmware update to a specific, a group or ALL the meters. The meter data can be stored in a database on the server-side. Access to data should be controlled. Obviously there is more than one server admin. Not all admins should have the ability to execute all of the above operations. For example, the "disconnect" 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. operation is very sensitive and risky and hence only a "super" admin can execute that operation. However, any admin can execute a meter instant read operation . Write a report that considers the security issues for the above system: authentication, authorization, data confidentiality and integrity, etc. and balance them with performance. Use one or more diagrams to clearly explain your security design. In the report, itemize various security issues, your assumptions and explain how your design addresses each of those issues You should begin with security issues involving physical deployment of meters in a city all the way to billing Implement your design using a programming language and tool(s) of your choice. You will write one or more programs that simulate the software that executes on the smart meter. You will also write one or more programs that simulate the software that executes on the server Instantiate 20 instances of the smart meter and demonstrate the operations as related to the 7 items described in part 1 In your report, add itemized information on who did what in your team. The "what" part could involve individual and combined tasks. Make sure that there is sufficient distribution of individual and combined tasks in your team.

Answer 1

Ok you can use arduino for billing.

• For billing you have to write code for that (power measuring).
• The code may be in C or C++ or Assembly in which you are familiar.. Yes by using Wifi shield with arduino you can communicate with your PC.
• If you know about serial communication, then you can use this serial communication also for interfacing your arduino and pc..
• Main thing is coding.. first you have to write code for measuring power. After that you can communicate it with pc.

Hope the answer helps.
