Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Near Field Communication (NFC) Control Module

该项目旨在确定替代方法，以提供用户和电动汽车充电基础设施之间所需的用户界面，以识别用户并确认他们被授权使用该设施。具体而言，该项目打算探索新的蓝牙v4.0（智能）协议和探索使用v4.0标准中的新功能，以创建一个可以在充电点与车辆（导航、仪表板电子设备）或手持设备（智能手机、平板电脑）之间的通信，以便交换信息并向充电点提供授权凭证，以验证驾驶员是否具有访问充电点设施的许可或财务资金。蓝牙协议传统上用于连接娱乐和用户界面设备。它具有设备身份验证功能（识别和握手），并且直到最近只支持相对较低级别的数据加密，这些数据加密容易受到拒绝服务攻击、窃听、中间人攻击、消息修改，然而，最近的v4.0版本的标准提供了AES加密以及众多的安全改进，这就是为什么我们试图探索在此此外，还能够创建“本地”无线局域网（WLAN），收费点和设备之间的互联网连接和处理能力，使我们能够探索不同的和新的解决方案，使收费点成为一个“在线”设备，而不需要昂贵的GSM调制解调器，目前通常添加到收费点，以满足数据收集和远程控制的要求。控制

This project seeks to identify alternative approaches to provide the user interface requiredbetween the users and electric vehicle charging infrastructure in order to identify the user andconfirm they are authorised to use the facility.Specifically the project intends to explore the new Bluetooth v4.0 (Smart) Protocol andexplore using new facilities in the v4.0 standard for the purpose of creating a secure encrypteddata channel that could be established between a chargepoint and either vehicles (navigation,dashboard electronics) or handheld devices (smartphones, tablets) in order to exchangeinformation and provide authorisation credentials to the chargepoint to validate that the driverhas permission or financial funds to be allowed access to the chargepoint facilities.The Bluetooth protocol has traditionally been used for interfacing entertainment and userinterface devices. It has facilities for device authentication (to identify and handshake) and uptill recently supported only relatively low levels of data encryption which was susceptible todenial-of-service attacks, eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, message modification,and resource misappropriationHowever the recent v4.0 edition of the standard provided AES encryption as well asnumerous security improvements which is why we seek to explore using it in this particularapplication.Furthermore the ability to create a 'local' wireless local area network (WLAN) betweenchargepoint and devices that contain further internet connecting and processing capabilitiesallows us to explore different and new solutions to making the chargepoint an 'online' devicewithout the need of expensive GSM modems which are today typically added into thechargepoint in order to satisfy requirements for data collection and remote control.
