Abstract: Method for operating a smart grid including a plurality of smart meters configured to monitor at least one physical measured quantity and to provide measurement results of the at least one physical measured quantity to a central entity, includes the following steps: partitioning the smart grid into groups of smart meters, such that each of the smart meters belongs to exactly one group, all smart meters of one of the groups encrypt their measured value by applying a bihomomorphic encryption scheme and send it to the central entity, one smart meter per group is designated as key aggregator to which all smart meters of that group send their key employed for the encryption, the key aggregator computes the aggregation of all received keys and sends the aggregated key to the central entity, the central entity aggregates all received encrypted measured values and decrypts the aggregation by employing the aggregated key.

Abstract: A method for supporting attack detection in a distributed system, wherein a message being sent within the distributed system from a source entity to one or more target entities is transmitted via one or more intermediate entities, and wherein at least one of the one or more intermediate entities—tagging entity—appends an attack information tag to the message indicating whether the message constitutes or is part of an attack, is characterized in that a reputation system is provided, the reputation system being configured to receive the attack information tag generated by the tagging entity, and to generate a rating of the attack information tag.
