OCPP Protocol: Security Threats and Challenges

摘要: One benefit postulated for the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is their ability to act as stabilizing entities in smart grids through bidirectional charging, allowing local or global smoothing peaks and imbalances. This benefit, however, hinges indirectly on reliability security power flows thus achieved. Therefore, this paper studies key properties already-deployed Open Charge Point Protocol specifying communication between charging points energy management systems. It argued that possible subversion malicious endpoints protocol can also lead destabilization networks. While reviewing these aspects, we focus, from a theoretical practical standpoint, attacks interfere with resource reservation originating EV, which may be initiated by man middle, theft, fraud. Such even replicated widely, resulting over- under-shooting network provisioning, (total/partial) disintegration integrity stability
