Abstract

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the convergence of smart grid, electrical vehicle and information and communication technology. It envisions a system where smart grid and electric vehicles can communicate with each other to provide various services. Researchers are actively trying to solve many of the interesting challenges in this emerging technology. One such challenge is to secure the communications between the entities in V2G environment using various security mechanisms. Recently, Su et al. proposed a scheme to provide authentication between electrical vehicles and charging station. On detailed analysis, the scheme exhibited some vulnerabilities. In our work, cryptanalysis of the protocol by Su et al. to show the scheme is vulnerable to traceability attack, user impersonation attack, insider attack and the protocol fails to support session key establishment is presented. Also, cloud computing is necessary for storing, processing and analyzing large amount of data generated in the V2G environment. Hence, we propose a new communication architecture involving cloud server and an efficient authentication protocol using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the proposed architecture. The security of the proposed protocol is established using the formal method BAN logic. Informal proofs are given to show the resistance of the proposed protocol against many known attacks. Other performance metrics of our protocol are evaluated and compared against many significant protocols of similar architecture.
