Evaluating 5G-enabled EV Charging Infrastructure's Resilience Through Stealthy Cyber-Attacks

Summary:

The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) over the latest years has gained increased attention due to the technological financial and environmental gains they offer. However it has also introduced a vast and exponentially growing threat landscape which is also complex to analyze. The complexity is even increased when considering the current integration of EV chargers in 5G-oriented network slices and architectures. Hence the threat landscape analysis becomes crucial to derive the Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) that are applicable on the EV-oriented ecosystem as well as their impact on the underlying charging infrastructure. This paper proposes a framework for conducting stealthy attack scenarios and validating their impact on the EV charging infrastructure. In the current version of the framework two prominent attack types are included: the Denial of Charge when legitimate users are using the EV charging stations and the False Data Injection tampering the meter values during and in
