to sniff or communicate using GNUradio for example [26]. The security <strong>of</strong> RF depends on the<br />
application layer implementation. With the usage <strong>of</strong> radio transmitter, like GNUradio, one might<br />
be able to disrupt the data link layer protocol and possibly do a denial <strong>of</strong> service. The DC used<br />
in RF solutions have the same security risks as the DC in PLC. The DC will be placed centrally<br />
in neighbourhoods, possibly also at substations and use the same communications technologies as<br />
PLC data concentrators to communicate with the CAS: IP and GPRS.<br />
The DLMS COSEM protocol<br />
DLMS/COSEM is a common language which enables partners in the <strong>metering</strong> industry to communicate<br />
in a standard way, and is defined on the DLMS website as follows: [12]:<br />
