+Germany standardized smart metering on a national level. Apart from the calibration standards applying to any type of
+meter smart meters are covered by a set of communications and security standards developed by the German Federal Office
+for Information Security (BSI). Germany mandates smart meter installations for newly constructed buildings and during
+major renovations but does not require most legacy residential installations to be upgraded. This is a consequence of a
+2013 cost-benefit analysis that found these upgrades to be uneconomical for the vast majority of residential
+customers\cite{bmwi03,bmwi1,bmwe01,brown01}.
+
+The German standards strictly separate between metering and communication functions. Both are split into separate
+devices, the \emph{meter} and the \emph{gateway} (called emph{smart meter gateway} in full and often abbreviated
+emph{SMGW}). One or several meters connect to a gateway through a COSEM-derived protocol. The communication interface
+between meter and gateway can optionally be physically unidirectional. An unidirectional interface eliminates any
+possibility of meter firmware compromise. The gateway contains a cryptographic security module similar to a
+smartcard\cite{mahlknecht01} that is entrusted with signing of measurements and maintaining an authenticated and
+encrypted communication channel with its authorities. Security of the system is certified according to a Common Criteria
+process.
+
+The German specification does not include any support for load switches outside of demand-side management as they are
+common in some other countries. It does not prohibit the installation of one behind the smart meter installation. This
+makes it theoretically possible for a utility company to still install a load switch to disconnect a customer, but this
+would be a spearate installation from the smart meter. In Germany there are significant barriers that have to be met
+before a utility company may cut power to a household\cite{delaw01}. The elision of a load switch means attacks on
+German meters will be limited in influence to billing irregularities and attacks using DSM equipment.

+\subsubsection{The Netherlands}
+The Netherlands were early to take initiative to roll out smart metering after its recognition by the European
+Commission in 2006\cite{cuijpers01,ec04}. After overcoming political issuses the Netherlands were above the European
+median in 2018 having replaced almost half of all meters\cite{cuijpers01,ec03}. Dutch smart meters are standardized by a
+consortium of distribution system operators. They integrate gateway and metrology functions into one device. The
+utility-facing interface is a IEC DLMS/COSEM-based interface over cellular radio such as GPRS or
+LTE\cite{aubel01}. Like e.g.\ the German standard, the Dutch standard precisely specifies all communication
+interfaces of the meter\cite{dsmrp3}. Another parallel is that the Dutch standard also does not cover any functionality
+for remotely disconnecting a household. This absence of a load switch limits attacks on Dutch smart meters to causing
+billing irregularities.
 
 \subsubsection{The UK}
-% FIXME
+
+The UK is currently undergoing a smart metering rollout. Meters in the UK are nationally standardized to provide both
+Zigbee ZSE-based and IEC DLMS/COSEM connectivity. UK smart metering specifications are shared between electrical and gas
+meters. Different to other countries' specifications the UK national specifications require electrical meters to have an
+integrated load switch and gas meters to have an integrated valve.  In the UK a significant number of consumers are
+subject to prepaid electricity contracts.  Prepayment and credit functionality are also specified in the national smart
+metering standard, as is remote firmware update functionality. Outside communications in these standards is performed
+through a gateway (there called \emph{communications hub}) that can be shared between several meters
+\cite{ukgov01,ukgov02,ukgov03,brown01,sato01}. The combination of both gas and electricity metering into one family of
+standards and the exceptionally large set of \emph{required} features make the UK regulations the maximalist among the
+ones in this section. The mandatory inclusion of both load switches and remote connectivity up to remote firmware update
+make it an interesting attack target.

+A unique point in the Japanese utility metering landscape is that the current practice is monthly manual readings. In
+Japan residential utility meters are usually mounted outside the building on an exterior wall and every month someone
+with a mirror on a long stick will come and read the meter. The meter reader then makes a thermal paper print-out of the
