Abstract
Methods and systems for access control involve dynamically controlling an access to firmware running a certified feature in an energy meter and a non-certified feature in the energy meter. The access can be based on a bifurcation between the certified feature and the non-certified feature running in the energy meter on one or more of a single microcontroller or a group of different microcontrollers.
Claims20
A method of access control, comprising:
- dynamically controlling an access to firmware running a certified feature in an energy meter and a non-certified feature in the energy meter, wherein the access is based on a bifurcation between the certified feature and the non-certified feature running in the energy meter.
A method of access control, comprising:
- dynamically controlling an access to firmware running a certified feature in an energy meter and a non-certified feature in the energy meter, wherein the access is based on a bifurcation between the certified feature and the non-certified feature running in the energy meter on at least one of:
- a single microcontroller or a group of different microcontrollers;
- receiving a request for the access to the firmware;
- permitting the access to the firmware, in response to determining that the request relates to the certified feature;
- or
- denying the access to the firmware, in response to determining that the request relates to the non-certified feature.
3 more elements
A system for access control to an energy meter, comprising:
- an energy meter;
- and
- an access controller associated with the energy meter, wherein the access controller is operable to dynamically control an access to firmware running a certified feature in the energy meter and a non-certified feature in the energy meter, wherein the access is based on a bifurcation between the certified feature and the non-certified feature running in the energy meter.
