Abstract
Smart Energy Home Area Networks (SE-HAN) enable two-way communication between utility companies and HAN devices. Due to multifaceted nature of SE-HAN, securely managing SE-HAN is very challenging. In this paper, we propose a device authentication mechanism for smart energy home area network. The proposed mechanism is more robust and secure than the existing one.
