| Vulnerability | Impact | Solutions |
|
| Physical layer jamming | Severe DoS in a part of the network | Install filters that block the signal from the smart meter to the household. |
|
| CSMA/CA jamming | Severe DoS in a part of the network | Install filters that block the signal from the smart meter to the household. |
|
| Promotion Needed Flooding | Saturates the traffic
Complicates the logical topology
Can result in DoS | Limit PNPDU bursts
Base node implementing whitelisting
Not accepting promotions triggered by PNPDUs from registered nodes
NIDS near the base node |
|
| Node registration overflow | Can cause DoS in some nodes | Use of encryption (Security Profile 1)
Base node implementing whitelisting
Base node implementing random LNID assignation after overflow |
|
| Node registration spoofing | Targeted DoS | Use of encryption (Security Profile 1) |
|
| LSID overflow | Can cause DoS in several nodes | Use of encryption (Security Profile 1)
Base node implementing random LSID assignation after overflow
NIDS near the base node |
|
| Base Node spoofing | Can cause DoS in several nodes
Privacy issues | NIDS distributed along the network |
|
| Sniffing | Privacy issues | Use of encryption (Security Profile 1) |
|
| Demotion/unregistration/disconnection spoofing | Targeted DoS (disconnection/unregistration)
Can cause DoS in several nodes (demotion) | Use of encryption (Security Profile 1)
NIDS near the base node |
|
| Security CRC | May cause DoS | Use of encryption hardware |
|
| Traffic replay | Privacy issues
Take control of the smart meters | Use of encryption (Security Profile 1) drastically increases the difficulty of this attack |
