1.1 Executive Summary


With tightened supply of power and resources, energy saving and emission deduction have
become a common trend globally. To follow this global trend, electricity management authority
intends to use and implement prepayment metering system to achieve objectives of energy
saving, meter reading work load reduction and electricity fees collection improvement.
Prepayment metering system consists of Prepayment Electricity Vending Management
System and Prepayment meters.
Prepayment meter is such type of meter with which electricity consumer need to pay in
advance for electricity they consume.
Electricity Consumers can charge the electricity they purchased into meter through some
intermediary, meter will identify and process the data and supply Electricity to consumer
accordingly. When the credit in meter is nearly used up, meter will provide warning to
consumer to remind consumer for charging. when the credit in meter is completely used up,
meter will cut off power supply to realize “prepayment” (pay in advance, consume later) type
of electricity management.
Application of prepayment meter can successfully solve practical problems which Electricity
Management Authority are facing (such as problematic manual meter reading and hardship in
Electricity Fee collection).

Every token, every meter, every vending station and vending system are protected by different
security key of different security class. The reliable encryption key system can effectively
minimize opportunity of being attacked.
 KMC——Key Management Center, management authority who are managing
encryption keys of various Utilities, Supply Groups and meter manufacturers and it
is a neutral third party.
 Meter manufacturer——meter manufacturer must become member of STSA,
manufacturer’s ID is assigned by STSA, otherwise their product will not be able to
work with system.
 Utility Supply Group——every prepayment system which is using STS technology
must apply for SGC (Supply group code).
 STSA——Standard Transfer Specification Association, responsible for managing
membership application issues.
 Encryption key card manufacturer——manufacturer of vending system encryption
key card,the card is used to encrypt data of power vending and is the main part for
system security.

time of application). This key is unique for each meter manufacturer and is issued
by KMC. With this VDDK, manufacturer can generate factory defult key of their

12 Shenzhen Inhemeter Co.,Ltd. | Security Mechanism of Keypad Prepayment Meter


keypad prepayment meter and vending system solution

meter product, i.e. DDTK.


 VUDK——Vending Unique Key, with VUDK unique vending key can be generated.

1.8.2 Prepayment Meter Encryption Key


 DITK——Initialization key,open encryption key of meter manufacturers, used in
meter manufacturing process and repairing process, managed by meter
manufacturer.
 DDTK——Default key,used in the process delivering meter from manufacturer to
SGC. This key is generated from unique manufacturer’s vending key (VDDK)
assigned to each meter manufacturer by KMC and is loaded into meter when meter
is in ex-work/ready for delivery status. This DDTK can only be changed with POS
provided by the manufacturer of the meter (the party who owns the unique VDDK)
and the key is defaultly generated by vending encryption card together with KMF
supplied by KMC.
 DUTK——Unique key,used in meter daily operation, credit purchase and credit
loading. DUK, when used together with vending key AUDK, is used to encrypt or
de-encrypt meter application function, i.e. encrypt or de-encrypt STS code
transferring function. After accept the meter products from meter manufacturer,
Utility need to replace DDTK with DUTK.

1.8.3 Security Principle of Encryption Key


 Generation of all keys are centrally controlled. Security of the keys of all SGCs are
assigned and ensured by KMC. Utility need not to invest resources in managing

Shenzhen Inhemeter Co.,Ltd. | Security Mechanism of Keypad Prepayment Meter 13


Keypad Prepayment Energy Meter and Vending System Solution

generation and security of keys. Generation and transferring process of all kinds of
keys (irrespective Vending system key or meter key) are all performed in encrypted
status, therefore. in any case, the contents of the key itself can not be interpreted
directly.
 All the data are transferred in form of encrypted contents to prevent these contents
from being interpreted. Following principles of security and practical, the key is so
designed to facilitate operation and control of meter after the security requirement
is satisfied.
 All the meters have unique key. With the help of above mentioned key
management flow, we can understand the distributed and related relation among
key, meter serial No., key version No., tariff index No., SGC and key type. these
relations ensured that one unique encryption key to one meter and as there is no
root encryption key present in vending system, security of the system will not be
threatened from root key side.
 Security arrangement facilitate the building of vending system as it can be used in
both PC version of vending system and networked vending system which is
operating in internet environment and with banking system.
 By using public key in meter manufacturing process and private key in meter’s
working status, as well as controlling meter working status key with SM which is
actively generating working status key with file provided by KMF, the system not
only successfully separated the security in meter manufacturing process and the
security in meter working status, but also successfully separated the meter
manufacturer and Utility. System security and safety is completely assured.

1.8.4 Security Certification


 Product certified has already obtained certification from highest international
security certification authority.
 System’s Security is as safe as Banking system, certified by NIST (National
Institute of Standards and Technology) and FIPS (Federal Information Processing
Standards),which is also the certifying authority for banking system security
systems.
 STS system have used several encryption algorithms including DES,3DES and
STA.
 In the process of transferring encryption keys, 3DES encryption algorithms has
been used.
 Generation of charge token adopts STA special encryption algorithm, which is
similar to DES encryption algorithm. the interchange table of each manufacturer is
also allocated and controlled by STSA.

2.10 Special Functions

2.10.1 Load Breaking Function


The built-in latching relay can control the load according to balance credit, tempering status
and load status. When power is off, built-in relay will disconnect to cut off power supply. When
power is on (power grid is restored to supply power), meter will analyze the record. If it is
normal (balance credit is not zero, and meter is not under tempering, overload or any other
abnormal condition), built-in relay will reconnect to supply power, otherwise (balance credit is
zero, or meter is under tempering, overload or any other abnormal condition), built-in relay will
remain disconnected to cut off load power supply.
Note: When phase voltage is lower than operating voltage range(≤70%Un or ≤176V AC),the
relay will not react. When phase voltage is higher than operating voltage range(≥70%Un or
≥176V AC), meter will drive the relay to complete working status transformation.
Relay condition instruction on LCD display:

“ ” built-in relay is connected, user load is on.

“ ” built-in relay is disconnected, user load is off.


Note: If LCD indicated relay status does not match actual situation, it is possibly a malfunction,
please inform management department for servicing.

2.10.2 Zero Balance Cut off Function


When balance credit is zero built-in relay will cut off load power supply immediately to perform
