Authentication and Billing Scheme for The Electric Vehicles: EVABS

Abstract

The need for different energy sources has increased due to the decrease in the amount and the harm caused to the environment by its usage. Today, fossil fuels used as an energy source in land, sea or air vehicles are rapidly being replaced by different energy sources. The number and types of vehicles using energy sources other than fossil fuels are also increasing. Electricity stands out among the energy sources used. The possibility of generating electricity that is renewable, compatible with nature and at a lower cost provides a great advantage. For all these reasons, the use of electric vehicles is increasing day by day. Various solutions continue to be developed for the charging systems and post-charge billing processes of these vehicles. As a result of these solutions, the standards have not yet been fully formed. In this study, an authentication and billing scheme is proposed for charging and post-charging billing processes of electric land vehicles keeping security and privacy in the foreground. This scheme is named EVABS, which derives from the phrase “Electric Vehicle Authentication and Billing Scheme”. An authentication and billing scheme is proposed where data communication is encrypted, payment transactions are handled securely and parties can authenticate over wired or wireless. The security of the proposed scheme has been examined theoretically and it has been determined that it is secure against known attacks.

Elektrikli Araçlar İçin Doğrulama ve Faturalama Şeması: EVABS

Abstract

Dünyada fosil yakıt kaynaklarının miktarının azalması ve kullanılması ile çevre için oluşturduğu zarar nedeniyle farklı enerji kaynaklarına olan ihtiyaç artmıştır. Günümüzde kara, deniz veya hava araçlarında enerji kaynağı olarak kullanılan fosil yakıtların yerini hızla farklı enerji kaynakları almaktadır. Fosil yakıtlar dışındaki enerji kaynaklarını kullanan araçların sayısı ve türü de artmaktadır. Kullanılan enerji kaynakları arasında elektrik öne çıkmaktadır. Yenilenebilir, doğayla uyumlu ve daha az maliyetle elektrik üretme imkânı büyük avantaj sağlamaktadır. Tüm bu sebeplerden dolayı elektrikli araçların kullanımı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu araçların şarj sistemleri ve şarj sonrası faturalandırma süreçleri için çeşitli çözümler geliştirilmeye devam edilmektedir. Bu çözümler sonucunda standartlar henüz tam olarak oluşmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, elektrikli kara taşıtlarının bilinen saldırılara karşı şarj ve şarj sonrası faturalandırma işlemleri için güvenlik ve mahremiyetin ön planda tutulduğu bir kimlik doğrulama ve faturalandırma şeması önerilmiştir. Bu şema, “Elektrikli Araçlar için Kimlik Doğrulama ve Faturalandırma Şeması” ifadesinin İngilizcesinden türetilen EVABS olarak adlandırılmıştır. Veri iletişiminin şifrelendiği, ödeme işlemlerinin güvenli bir şekilde gerçekleştirildiği ve kablolu veya kablosuz olarak tarafların kimliğini doğrulayabildiği bir doğrulama ve faturalandırma şeması önerilmiştir. Önerilen şemanın güvenliği teorik olarak incelenmiş ve bilinen saldırılara karşı güvenli olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
