Recent advancements in the realm of intelligent transportation systems have underscored the critical significance of security and privacy within vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communication. However, despite significant efforts to fortify security mechanisms, the persistence of diverse attacks poses formidable challenges to the real-time utilization of V2G networks. A comprehensive survey, co-authored by a researcher Turjman from Near East University, delves into the foundational architecture, characteristics, challenges, security intricacies, and corresponding countermeasures in the charging domain of V2G networks.
The survey illuminates the intrinsic attributes of V2G networks, emphasizing their bidirectional capability for energy and information transfer, facilitated by electric vehicles interfacing with smart meters wirelessly. Despite the promise of V2G as a conduit for energy and data exchange, existing security measures have proven inadequate, susceptible to a myriad of breaches.
Central to the security concerns is the vulnerability of various security services, encompassing accessibility, confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation. The survey meticulously outlines the foremost security attacks targeting these services, underscoring the pressing need for robust countermeasures.
A notable inadequacy highlighted in the survey is the limited storage capacity of smart meters, a deficiency that can potentially compromise the integrity and reliability of V2G communications. To mitigate this limitation, the survey proposes the integration of Blockchain protocol within V2G networks, offering a decentralized approach to enhancing data security and resilience.
Looking ahead, the survey advocates for future research endeavors to incorporate machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence concepts into V2G networks. By leveraging these technologies, V2G networks can potentially bolster their resilience against evolving security threats, paving the way for safer and more efficient vehicle-grid interactions.
In conclusion, while V2G networks hold immense promise for revolutionizing energy and information exchange in intelligent transportation systems, their widespread adoption hinges on addressing critical security challenges. The survey underscores the imperative for continued research and innovation to fortify V2G networks against emerging threats, ensuring their viability in the era of interconnected smart infrastructure.
