Abstract: 
The increasing dependability on the communication network makes Smart Grid vulnerable towards several cyber security threats. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is arguably the most important and critical part of Smart Grid. AMI deals with the most sensitive information in the Grid and transmits them through the network. There already exist a good number of security solutions for AMI. However the percentage of security attacks is also increasing day by day and so does the innovative and intelligent ideas behind those attacks. As the inherent characteristics of Smart Grid is quite unique and different from traditional IT networks, the existing solutions fall short to handle these Smart Grid specific problems. Besides, balancing the supply-demand ratio in the Smart Grid considering all these odds, is far from being an easy job and requires additional technological support. Moreover, in order to maximize the benefits of Smart Grid, it is utmost important to connect and manage all the components and devices in the grid. This work in this thesis focuses on the feasibility of improving the security and autonomic functionalities of Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in Smart Grid. The work can be broadly categorized into three parts depending on the concerned functionality of AMI.
