A secure system is proposed in order to authenticate smart meter reading for securing the overall smart grid communication. Compression based techniques are employed to prevent power reading by unauthenticated entities. Impersonation attacks are common in smart grid environment which cause drastic security issues along with economic issues. Compression along with authentication is studied here to weed out the potential threats raised by unauthenticated access. Hypothesis based testing analysis is done to differentiate intruder based signal and genuine signal. This could be applied to meter data more effectively and is thought to bring about low authentication issues concerned with smart meter data. So the increased threat level in smart meter communications in grid can be lowered efficiently by using compression and authentication and make the overall system secure.
