Provably Secure Escrow-Less Chebyshev Chaotic Map-Based Key Agreement Protocol for Vehicle to Grid Connections With Privacy Protection

Abstract

Security and privacy concerns necessitate the careful management of shared keys in the vehicle to grid (V2G) networks. To do so, in recent years, several interesting key agreement protocols have been proposed to be employed in the context of V2G networks. As the efficiency is of prime significance in V2G networks, many of these protocols have been designed to be as light as possible. Nevertheless, review of the previous works indicates that the existing lightweight schemes cannot provide the desired security properties. Furthermore, the existing secure protocols are not so proper to be used by computationally limited devices in the V2G networks. Therefore, in this article, by utilizing the efficient Chebyshev chaotic map-based public key cryptosystem, we propose an anonymous key agreement scheme, which can not only provide the expected security requirements, but also has a proper level of performance. To demonstrate the security of the proposed scheme, we present a rigorous formal security proof using the random oracle model. In addition, to show its outperformance, we both compare it with several recently published well-known schemes and perform the experimental study. In general, the results indicate the efficiency of the proposed protocol in comparison to the related ones.
