Abstract

Home network environments provide telemetering services through AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) systems. For households' convienience, the AMR system automatically inspects gas, water, and electricity meters at the remote site. Since this telemetering information is associated with billing, it must be secure. So, it is necessary to design a security protocol for AMR systems. In this paper, we adapt discrete logarithm based multi-signcryption to an elliptic curve based multi-signcryption protocol, for the purpose of efficiency. And, we propose a secure mobile agent protocol for AMR systems using the elliptic curve based multi-signcryption. Our protocol efficiently provides user authentication, integrity and confidentiality of telemetering information.
