Wireless AMI Application and Security for Controlled Home Area ...

8solutions to these attacks were developed. Though morethreats are possible as this application scenario matures, thefoundation laid by this framework can be used to add newsolutions to emerging threats.Due to space limitations the overall framework ofimplementation could not be presented in this manuscript. Acommon security framework against the indentified attacksusing the proposed solutions will be presented in futurepapers.Future work in the area involves looking at the wirelesscommunication path between AMI of individual residencesand the utility’s control center. This will involve studying adifferent class of attacks that are remote in nature and involveexploiting vulnerabilities at the network layer. Such researchwill be complementary to the work presented here, which waslocal in nature to the WHAN-SM. Additional work also needsto be done by standardization bodies to provide capabilities toappliances and other equipment that are expected to be part offuture WHAN-SMsVI.
