Abstract

The Electric Vehicle (EV) offers an eco-friendly transport solution, reducing fuel reliance and greenhouse gas emissions. However, efficient and a reliable Charging Station (CS) pose challenges. To address this, a vital network combining station and EV data with secure communication is essential. Prior studies aimed for efficiency and security but often lacked efficacy and reliability. This article presents a pioneering app-based solution that forges a cost-effective, dependable connection between CS and EV users utilizing secret keys from a cross over ring oscillator and a modified AES algorithm. The proposed method lies in a novel Internet-of-Things (IoT) enabled approach that grants EV users restricted access to CSs, establishing a self-contained intra-CS connection using Power Line Communication (PLC). This new strategy not only reduces charging duration and expenses but also elevates overall service quality, all the while upholding robust security measures. By harnessing the suggested app-based framework, in conjunction with employing the Physical Unclonable Function for generating cipher keys and adopting the lightweight cryptography core for IoT sensors with the Diffe-Hellman key exchange protocol for intra-CS communication via PLC, the objective is to drive the domain of EV charging services towards a future that is both more secure and sustainable.

高效、可靠的电动汽车充电站物联网应用

电动汽车（EV）提供了一种环保的交通解决方案，减少了对燃料的依赖和温室气体的排放。然而，高效可靠的充电站（CS）带来了挑战。为了解决这个问题，一个将站和EV数据与安全通信相结合的重要网络是必不可少的。先前的研究旨在提高效率和安全性，但往往缺乏有效性和可靠性。本文介绍了一种开创性的基于应用程序的解决方案，该解决方案利用交叉环振荡器和改进的AES算法的密钥在CS和EV用户之间建立了成本效益高、可靠的连接。所提出的方法是一种新颖的物联网（IoT）支持方法，允许EV用户限制访问CSs，使用电力线通信（PLC）建立一个独立的cs内部连接。这一新策略不仅缩短了收费时间和费用，还提高了整体服务质量，同时保持了强大的安全措施。通过利用建议的基于应用程序的框架，结合使用物理不可克隆功能来生成密钥，并为物联网传感器采用轻量级加密核心，并通过PLC使用Diffe-Hellman密钥交换协议进行cs内部通信，目标是推动电动汽车充电服务领域走向更加安全和可持续的未来。
