However, due to the potential untrustworthiness of the open channel, protecting the confidentiality and integrity of communication data is challenging. Previously, a number of privacy-preserving authentication and key agreement (AKA) schemes have been proposed for securing SGs. However, these solutions either have some security and privacy vulnerabilities or require expensive computational and communication costs that cannot be applied to resource-constrained smart meters. In this work, we propose a novel, lightweight and privacy-preserving AKA scheme for SGs based on the elliptic curve cryptography and physically uncloneable function. The security analysis shows that our construction is secure against several security attacks. In addition, performance comparison with several related works shows the practicality of our design. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218194025500391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]],"date-time":"2025-07-25T06:51:21Z","timestamp":1753426281000},"page":"1219-1238","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Secure and Efficient Authentication for Smart Grid Communication Using ECC and PUF"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3157-749X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rixuan","family":"Qiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Information and Telecommunication Branch, State Grid Jiangxi Electric Power Company, Nanchang 330012, P.
