Abstract
Dynamic charging is a potential technology that would enable electric vehicles to be charged while they are in motion. Significant security and privacy concerns, on the other hand, arise as a result of communications between electric vehicles and a variety of dynamic charging system entities occurring over a public channel. Numerous authentication protocols have been presented recently to address security concerns associated with dynamic charging system. Nonetheless, we provide a lightweight authentication protocol suite that enables mutual authentication and session key agreement between the electric vehicle and the charging system while safeguarding against numerous attacks. The EV-PUF is based on physical unclonability, which is gaining popularity as a substitute for ultra-lightweight authentication and resistance to machine learning based attacks. Additionally, the security of the EV-PUF suite has been demonstrated using the random oracle model and state-of-the-art tool, Tamarin. According to the performance analysis, it is apparent that the EV-PUF suite improves efficiency in terms of consumption of less communication and computing overhead.
