SECURED AND RELIABLE ENCRYPTION FOR DATA COMMUNICATION AND SMART GRID USING WIRELESS MODULE

The main aim of smart grid was to maintain a secured and reliable electricity infrastructure to transfer data from smart meters to destinations. Now a day's data security plays a major role in communication i.e; data must be secured from the destructive forces and unauthorised users. The basic idea of this paper is to transfer data which is generated from smart meters or any other source securely from transmitting station to receiving station according to a standard algorithm with the help of zigbee modules and a specific controller. The information which is generated with the help of PS2 keyboard or from the smart meter is encrypted and sends to the destination. At the receiver end a junk message or garbage value is displayed and in order to view the original message the authorised user should press the encryption key which is present in the receiver section.
