Secure Communication Scheme for Electric Vehicles in the Smart Grid
Abstract
The increasing number of intelligent electric vehicles (EVs) has stimulated challengeable problems (i.e., confidentiality, privacy) for the smart grid in the last few years. These challenges impact the exchange of sensitive information between EVs and smart grid which offer different sort of services (i.e., planning itineraries, booking charging stations (CSs)). In this paper, we propose a new architecture to secure communication exchange between EVs and the smart grid. The proposed architecture ensures both confidentiality of communications and privacy of EVs, and includes authentication and authorization in order to secure service access for EVs. Simulations were performed under different scenarios to show the performance of our proposed scheme. The results have shown the proposed architecture ensures good response time when implementing the security modules.
