Abstract
Sensor-rich Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have transformed it into the Internet of Electric Vehicles (IoEV). Identified challenges in climate-friendly and low-carbon footprint EVs are: First, range anxiety due to the unavailability of charging stations, battery charging duration and capacity in EV users. Second, the threat of privacy leakage and the limitations of software-based security in IoEV. Third is the absence of a mechanism to ensure the delivery of the promised battery and to verify delivery. The proposed framework focused on reducing range anxiety through the delivery of swappable EV batteries at locations as Mobile Charging Delivery Service (MCDS). The software and hardware-level security is provided by the integration of blockchain and Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs). A Proof-of-Promised Battery (PoPB) mechanism is also introduced to ensure the delivery. Experimental results and Scyther tool analysis prove the effectiveness of the proposed framework and its superiority over recent works.
期刊介绍:
The impact of computers has nowhere been more revolutionary than in electrical engineering. The design, analysis, and operation of electrical and electronic systems are now dominated by computers, a transformation that has been motivated by the natural ease of interface between computers and electrical systems, and the promise of spectacular improvements in speed and efficiency.
Published since 1973, Computers & Electrical Engineering provides rapid publication of topical research into the integration of computer technology and computational techniques with electrical and electronic systems. The journal publishes papers featuring novel implementations of computers and computational techniques in areas like signal and image processing, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and communications. Special attention will be paid to papers describing innovative architectures, algorithms, and software tools.
