MS. SHIKHA KUCHHAL, PROF. IKBAL ALI, PROF. IBRAHEEM

Abstract

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates the development of robust and efficient charging infrastructure. However, the increasing reliance on communication technologies within this infrastructure introduces significant security and privacy vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a novel framework that employs game theory to enhance the security and efficiency of EV charging systems. We investigate the application of game-theoretic concepts, such as Nash equilibrium and Stackelberg games, to model and optimize charging strategies, resource allocation, and security mechanisms. By formulating charging interactions as strategic games, we aim to incentivize cooperative behavior among EVs and charging stations, mitigate security threats, and optimize resource utilization. The proposed framework is evaluated through simulations, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing the security, efficiency, and user experience of EV charging infrastructure.
