Cloud computing comes with a lot of advanced features along with privacy and security problem. Smart meter data takes the benefit of cloud computing in the smart grid. User's privacy can be compromised by analyzing the smart meter data generated by household electrical appliances. The user loses control over the data while data is shifted to the cloud. This paper describes the issues under the privacy and security of smart meter data in the cloud environment. We also compare the existing approaches for preserving the privacy and security of smart meter data.
