The smart grid design mantra can be described, in part, as "knowledge is power." The application of information technology to the power grid aims to provide more efficient and reliable operation and facilitate new consumer-centric applications through greater situational awareness. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) provides unprecedented opportunities for informed decision-making on energy consumption and home energy management. Cloud-based services provide a convenient, cost-effective and scalable platform upon which to host emerging AMI applications, but practical considerations arise from this greater dependence on information, namely those related to security and privacy. To address these challenges, many utilities are adopting Green Button, an ongoing North America-wide initiative to provide utility customers with secure access to their energy usage information while protecting privacy. As such, this Engage proposal, through a three-way collaboration amongst the PI's research group at the University of Toronto, London Hydro and First North, Inc., aims to address security and privacy of consumer AMI data as it relates to the emerging Green Button standard in the context of a cloud-based environment. The following tasks are addressed: (1) identify critical privacy challenges in a utility sector multi-tenant public cloud-based environment; (2) assess the Green Button standard to determine necessary extensions for multi-tenant public cloud privacy; (3) analyze a specific use case focused on secure federated aggregation of de-identified AMI data sets; and (4) develop a cloud-based Green Button App to test the use case in the context of social benchmarking. This work has the potential to have significant impact on the evolution of the Green Button standard enhancing Canadian leadership in this international effort. Moreover, this proposal is strongly aligned with Canada's Cyber Security Strategy and the National Strategy and Action Plan for Critical Infrastructure. The health and happiness of a society is strongly coupled to its national security. The proposed project supports a strengthened society in which Canadian academia and industry can collaboratively participate in its defense and security.

智能电网设计的口头禅可以部分地描述为“知识就是力量”。技术的应用 信息技术旨在为电网提供更加高效可靠的运行和便利 通过更好的情景感知实现新的以消费者为中心的应用程序。先进的计量基础设施 (阿联酋)为能源消费和家庭的明智决策提供了前所未有的机会 能源管理。基于云的服务提供方便、经济实惠且可扩展的平台 托管新兴的AMI应用程序，但这种更大的依赖产生了实际的考虑 信息，即与安全和隐私有关的信息。为了应对这些挑战，许多公用事业公司都 采用绿色按钮，这是一项正在进行的北美范围的计划，为公用事业客户提供安全的 访问他们的能源使用信息，同时保护隐私。因此，这项接洽建议，通过 多伦多大学、伦敦水电和First的PI研究小组之间的三方合作 North，Inc.旨在解决消费者AMI数据的安全和隐私问题，因为它与新兴的绿色 按钮在基于云的环境的上下文中的标准。解决了以下任务：(1)识别 公用事业部门基于公共云的多租户环境中的关键隐私挑战；(2)评估绿色 按钮标准，以确定多租户公有云隐私的必要扩展；(3)分析特定的 侧重于安全联合聚合未识别的AMI数据集的使用案例；以及(4)开发基于云的 绿色按钮应用程序，在社会标杆环境中测试用例。这项工作有可能 对绿色按钮标准的发展产生了重大影响，增强了加拿大在这方面的领导地位 国际努力。此外，这一提议与加拿大的网络安全战略和 关键基础设施国家战略和行动计划。一个社会的健康和幸福是强有力的 再加上它的国家安全。拟议的项目支持一个加强的社会，在其中加拿大人 学术界和工业界可以协作参与其防务和安全。
