Abstract:
The emerging build-ups of charging station infrastructures require sufficiently secure and economic authentication
protocols. Existing protocols for the purpose of authenticating a customer against a charging station
have the inherent disadvantage that they expect a network connection to the management system, produce a
communication overhead, or might reveal sensitive customer data depending on the protocol. The protocol,
provided by us, enables a multiple-operator customer-to-charging station authentication system. The particularity
of the protocol is that it does not require a permanent network connection between charging stations and
a corresponding management system, reduces the communication overhead between the involved entities, and
protects sensitive customer data at a high rate.
