The demand for fine-grained perception of electricity usage information in the new power system is continuously increasing, making it a challenge to address potential unauthorized data access while ensuring channel security. This paper addresses privacy in power systems requiring efficient source-load interactions by introducing a novel data compression synchronous encryption algorithm within a compressed sensing framework. Our proposed algorithm uses a ternary Logistic-Tent chaotic system for generating a chaotic measurement matrix, allowing simultaneous data compression and encryption of user-side voltage and current data. This mitigates high-frequency sampling overload and ensures data confidentiality. The implementation of a joint random model at both compression and reconstruction stages eliminates the need for key transmission, reducing management costs and leakage risks. The proposed algorithm was validated using the PLAID dataset, demonstrating that the time required for a single encryption-decryption operation can be reduced by up to 81.99% compared to the asymmetric RSA algorithm. Additionally, compared to the symmetric AES algorithm, the proposed method significantly enhances confidentiality.
