The invention discloses an intelligent
power grid equipment trust management and
authentication method and
system based on a block chain, and aims to prevent identity embezzlement and disguise in a distributed
electric energy network. According to the identification and
authentication model, the
authentication of the node is improved by using the digital
certificate, the use safety of the
power grid can be remarkably improved, the validity of the node can be easily verified through the
Merkle tree architecture by using the intelligent
power grid equipment identification and authentication model of the
Merkle tree architecture, and when new equipment is added to the block chain, the new equipment can be identified and authenticated through the
Merkle tree architecture. The communication with a control center can be started; the privacy and data of all participants are protected, the block chain technology can provide a distributed and decentralized
security system to ensure the integrity and
confidentiality of transactions, the block chain can serve as a trusted transaction platform, energy of different energy sources is exchanged between
smart power grids, real-time pricing is achieved, and the transaction efficiency is improved. And simpler and more convenient energy trade can be realized, and the market is freer and more fair.
