With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, edge computing, as a new
computing paradigm, has been widely popularized in academia and industry. Due to the …

The main contribution of this paper is the construction of the efficient privacy-preserving
protocol for smart metering systems (EPPP4SMS), which brings together features of the best …

We present an innovative protocol combining innetwork data aggregation and smart meter
billing for a smart grid scenario. The former enables an energy supplier to allocate and …

Modular exponentiation is a time-consuming operation widely used in cryptography.
Modular multi-exponentiation, a generalization of modular exponentiation also used in …

Public key algorithms are extensively known to be slower than symmetric key alternatives in
the area of cryptographic algorithms for the reason of their basis in modular arithmetic. The …

Modular exponentiation, an operation widely utilized in cryptographic protocols to transfer
text and other forms of data, can also be applied to Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices with high …

Modular exponentiation is a fundamental and most time-consuming operation in several
public-key cryptosystems such as the RSA cryptosystem. In this paper, we propose two new …

This book presents current research in privacy-preserving protocols for smart grids. It
contains several approaches and compares them analytically and by means of simulation. In …

Most cryptographic systems are based on modular exponentiation (ME). It is performed
using successive modular multiplications (MMs). In this case, there are many ways to …

It is widely recognized that the public‐key cryptosystem is playing a pivotal role to provide
the security services not only in electronic world but also for secured key exchanges in …
