Towards Securing Electric Vehicle Charging Systems Against Passive and Active Attacks

This project addresses cybersecurity vulnerabilities in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, specifically focusing on the Power Line Communication (PLC) system used between EVs and charging stations (EVSE). The research aims to develop protective measures against both passive eavesdropping and active interference attacks that can disrupt charging services.
