DESIGN OF SECURE FRAMEWORK FOR CLOUD DATA SECURITY IN SMART GRID WITH FOG COMPUTING

Smart grid is next generation power grid. It combines communication network with information system as one smarter system for reliable and safe infrastructure. Cloud computing has developed and evolved over the past years becoming a real choice f or Smart Grids infrastructure because of the scalability, availability, interoperability performance and most important its performance . Though smart grid using two way communication and cloud there are still some loop holes regarding security which need t o focus. In smart grid information present on cloud is very sensitive to attack. Attacker tries to gain access of information available on smart meters, which will be very dangerous for both customer and consumer. As smart grid heavily relies on communication netwo rk security for insider data, theft attack is an important. Traditional security mechanisms are not able to fulfil security requirement of this new trend power grid. Therefore, there is exact need of best solution, which able prevent data loss, and misuse of data. Towards the end paper addresses issues in smart grid for data security in cloud, previous work regarding the topic and focus on new approach fog computing for cloud data security. With t his new technique fog computing , we are trying to give secu rity solution for cloud data security in smart grid
