Secure data flow to millions of charging points for electric vehicles
The number of cars powered solely by electricity in Germany first exceeded 1 million in 2022, according to the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. By 2030, the federal government predicts that there will be seven to ten million electric cars and at least one million charging points. These rapidly rising figures, published on 30 August 2023 by statista, go hand in hand with increased expansion of the charging infrastructure and innovative charging concepts.
The new Plug-and-Charge (PnC) authentication method for modern charging stations is intended to increase data security as well as convenience. Here, the charging process starts directly after connecting the vehicle without the use of a card at the charging point. The charging point infrastructure is secured by TLS communication.
At it-sa, achelos will present an extensive portfolio of high-performance test tools and test suites from the TLS and IKE/IPsec field for securing networks. The company’s TLS Inspector is a test suite for securing the charging infrastructure. This test suite will be introduced in an accompanying presentation in connection with a smart charging solution.
"How safe is the communication between the charging point and the electric car?"
In his presentation, Heinfried Cznottka, Director Security Solutions at achelos, will demonstrate a practical application of the TLS Inspector from achelos together with the Smart Charging Solution from dSPACE for testing the security between charging station and car. The presentation will take place on Thursday, 12 October in Hall 7, Forum C, at 11:30 a.m.
