A Robust Aggregated Message Authentication Protocol for Vehicle-to-grid Networks

The concept of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is that electric vehicles (EVs) communicate with the smart grid to sell demand response services by delivering electricity into the grid. The operation of V2G networks is based on continuously monitoring the status of individual EVs as well as a designed incentive scheme to attract sufficient participating EVs. However, the close monitoring might raise privacy concerns from the EV owners about identity and location information leakage. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, V2G communication protocol with privacy-preserving has been proposed rarely in the literature. Therefore, the authors propose a robust aggregated message authentication (RAMA) protocol with privacy preservation for V2G networks, which utilizes the restrictive partially blind signature to protect the identities of the EV owners and makes use of aggregation and batch verification techniques for message verification to reduce the computation overhead, and is also based on certificate-less public key cryptography to simplify the certificate management. The proposed protocol can achieve the property of completeness, identity and location privacy, confidentiality and integrity of the communications, and known-key security, and is secure against the replay attacks, forgery attacks, and existential adaptively chosen message attacks.
