Secure and Privacy-Preserving E-mobility Service Based on Blockchain and Hybrid Smart Contracts

Abstract

The e-mobility infrastructure faces several challenges that hinder the general adoption of electric vehicles (EV). Indeed, the management system requires multiple actors to jointly act on different interdependent processes which makes it complex, time-consuming and inefficient. Moreover, the current state of the infrastructure raises several security and privacy concerns that render it non-compliant with security regulations and privacy laws. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based solution that allows a more efficient, secure and privacy-preserving management of the EV infrastructure. We used hybrid smart contracts and blockchain oracles to feed data to the blockchain in a secure and trusted manner.
