Smart vehicle-to-grid (V2G) involves intelligent charge and discharge decisions based on user operational energy requirements, such as desired levels of charging and waiting time. V2G is also supported by information management capabilities enabled by a secure network, such as a reliable privacy-preserving payment system. In this article, we describe the network security and privacy requirements and challenges of V2G applications. We present a new network security architecture to support V2G. We propose a scheme with the following security and privacy-preserving features: Anonymous authentication, fine-grained access control, anonymous signatures, information confidentiality, message integrity, remote attestation, and a payment system. This article is oriented toward practitioners interested in designing and implementing secure and privacy-preserving networks for smart V2G applications.
