Since the keypad technology is future proof, cost effective and in this communication age, enablesconsumers to buy electricity over the multiple vending options.The vending system shall use Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES),i.e. it provides three levels ofencryption for the vend code. The code shall be meter specific and can't be used in any other meter. TripleDESis widely used in banking systems worldwide due to the high level of security provided by the algorithm . The necessary licensed Software for each Vending Station at BHEL billing centre shall be provided bybidder.The vending system shall be the online vending system from where the vend codes shall be issued.7.VENDING PROCESS:7.1.1On receipt of the vend request. the system shall have a provision to ascertain the identity of theconsumer. The keys to identify the consumer shall be the meter serial number or consumer premisenumber.7.1.2The vend terminalshall send the request to a central database that shall authenticatethetransaction and generate an encrypted code.7.1.3In order to provide maximum security to the system the encryption shall not be done on the vendterminal.7.1.4On receipt of each request the vend terminal shall connect to the central database and get the codegenerated.7.1.5The code hence generated shall be printed on paper using the attached printer.7.1.6The vending system shall be used to transfer current values (Rupees) to the meter.7.1.7The consumer shall pay the money at the vend terminal, this information when fed to the vendterminalshall be send to the central database that shall encrypt the token using Triple DESencryptio'n algorithm.8.DATA MONITORINGCENTRE (DMe):The DMC shall be a part of the vending system which shall have capability to interface with the centraldatabase and produce the management reports as detailed in the specification. It shall manage alladministrative data, including settings of system accounts, tariffs, meter and Consumer data. It shall alsoprovide reporting system for system analysis.Various tasks that should be performed from the DMC are outlined below:8.1.1 Consumer Database Management\ Entry of new consumers and their details Existing consumer database

Group rights definition Entry of system users and allocation of group rightsSECURITYASPECT:The vending system shall be a sophisticated SYSIemwith reliable security features.a) The token created for particular meter with the defined tariff shall not be used for any other meter.b) The meter shall accept the valid token only once. The token generated shall be meter specific and shallbe used only on the particular meter for which it is intended.c) The to.J enshall not be reusabled) The token shall be re-issued in case it is lost the meter shall accept the code generated only once.e) Whenever a tariff change takes place no other token shall be accepted by the meter unless the updatedtariff token is entered into the meter.f)The token generated shall be authenticated as well as encrypted so that no decoding is possible.;,. The complete system and meter shall be guaranteed/warrantyfor 5 year from date of receipt ofmaterial at BHEl store.
