Smart power grid is a two-way interconnected network in which information plays fundamental role the process of energy transmission and distribution. The smart based on combining ICT with processing capabilities computers electrical systems to increase communication between users. However, grids are exposed variety malicious cyber-attacks that can lead destruction basic infrastructure disrupt Meanwhile, by authenticating authenticated users, cyber-security be created grid. One main components meters. maintain security communication, meter authentication alone not enough it must ensured electricity company’s server forgery. Therefore, there need for home side company server. present work provides key management layout (based elliptic curve cryptography) outside area proposed solution among associate company. In other words, methodology creates establish connection valid users protocol evaluates behavior Attacks such as man-in middle attacks retransmission considered. It was found that, improves reliance secure communications. Moreover, prevent an extensive experiment attack. results also showed false factor increases, detection time algorithm increases. As increases from 0.1 0.3, 1.4 s.
