Researchers from the Applied Cyber Security Darmstadt (ACSD) research group successfully placed a paper at this year's 22nd International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS). In the paper "Self-sovereign Identity for Electric Vehicle Charging", the researchers propose a new approach for using self-sovereign identities (SSIs) to authenticate and authorize charging sessions. This improves privacy protection and eliminates the need for complex PKIs. The paper is available as open access here.
