Security goals. Towards a SMI network an adequate se- curity suite essentially satisfies the following goals: 1) Mutual authentication and key establishment: In a SMI network, it is paramount security requirement that a NAN gateway must authenticate to a smart meter, since consumption data collected from smart meters will be utilized for many purposes e.g., billing, load balancing, etc. Similarly, a smart meter should authenticate the NAN gateway in order to protect from fake messages (e.g., control commands, etc.) from an attacker. Thus mutual authentication is highly required [32]. As soon as mutual authentication verified, a fresh session key agreement should be generated for the legal parties, so that subsequent communication could take place securely.
