The popularity of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has been rising across the globe inrecent years. Smart grids will be the backbone for EV charging and enableefficient consumption of electricity by the EVs. With the demand for EVs,associated cyber threats are also increasing. Users expose their personalinformation while charging their EVs, leading to privacy threats. This paperproposes a user-empowered, privacy-aware authenticated key exchange protocolfor EV charging in smart grid. The proposed protocol is based on the concept ofDecentralized Identifier (DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs). The use ofDIDs empowers users by helping them to have complete control over theiridentities. The charging station and the user verify that the other party islegitimate before proceeding with the charging services using VC. Key recoveryis another issue we address in this paper. A method to recover lost keys isincorporated into the proposed protocol. We present formal security proof andinformal analysis to show that protocol's robustness against several attacks.We also provide a detailed performance analysis to show that the proposedprotocol is efficient.
