Abstract
The improvement of energy efficiency is an important target on all levels of society. It is best achieved on the basis of locally and temporally fine-grained measurement data for identifying unnecessary use of energy. However, at the same time such fine-grained measurements allow deriving information about the persons using the energy. In this paper we describe our work towards a privacy preserving system for energy management. Our solution follows the privacy by design paradigm and uses attribute-based cryptography and virtualization to increase security.
