How to secure the smart meter

This is article tackles different techniques to increase the security of the endpoints in the smart grid—meters and sensors that are dispersed far away from the watchful eyes of the utilities.

The technology to address these attacks exists today, has been used successfully for years in the financial payment-processing industry, and can readily be applied to the smart grid.
