Cryptographic data tool to reduce carbon emissions of Electric Vehicles - computer simulated feasibility study

ZKTrust将减少电动汽车的碳排放。它通过消除电动汽车与电网共享数据的重大障碍来做到这一点。这使得一个更协调的系统，浪费更少的能源，可以更快地过渡到100%的可再生能源。如果电动汽车与电网（和电动汽车充电站）良好沟通，它们可以帮助我们的电力脱碳。在阳光明媚、刮风的时候可以进行更多的充电。但是，如果电动汽车不能很好地与电网通信，那么它们将成为该国最大的不可预测的负载。平衡它们需要更多的天然气电力，而电动汽车增加了英国电力的碳强度。但电动汽车需要通信的数据是高度敏感的：位置、充电状态、目的地和预计到达时间。这些数据不能落入坏人之手。汽车可能被偷，房屋可能被偷，人们可能被跟踪。今天的解决方案是信任的层次结构--一个从总部到设备的密码链。但以这种方式与“可信组织”共享数据可能会导致数据泄露。2023年6月，Shell Recharge的电动汽车充电站泄露了数百万客户的数据;姓名、电话号码和家庭地址\[TechCrunch，2023\]。事实上，任何等级组织或结构都必然会嵌入“单点故障”风险，其中任何一点的安全漏洞都会危及其下的所有内容。相比之下，互联网络允许问题和攻击被遏制，而不影响系统的其余部分。“信任网络”提供了这种至关重要的鲁棒性，这是任何依赖信任的基础设施的关键要求。此外，信任网络可以准确地量化任何给定参与者的信任级别，达到层次结构所不能达到的程度。该项目核心的深层技术是零知识信任网络。让供应商在共享数据时保持完全的隐私，同时让接收者对他们收到的数据有信心。Deep Origin的突破将消除电动汽车和可能使用它的人之间数据共享的主要障碍。这样做，它将从电动汽车中释放出更多的数据，并使能源市场更有效地运作。这将减少对增加输电和配电基础设施的重大需求。它将使电动汽车的“巨型电池”能够以协调的方式尽可能快地、最大限度地搭载可再生能源。

ZKTrust will reduce the carbon emissions of electric cars. It does this by removing a significant barrier to EVs sharing data with the Grid. This enables a more coordinated system that wastes less energy and can transition to 100% renewable energy faster.If EVs communicate well with the Grid (and EV charging stations) they can help to decarbonise our electricity. More charging can be done when the sun shines and the wind blows. But if EV's cannot communicate well with the Grid, then they become the country's largest unpredictable load. Balancing them requires more gas power and EVs increase the carbon intensity of the UK's electricity.So getting EVs to communicate well with the grid reduces carbon. But the data EV's need to communicate is highly sensitive: location, charge status, destination, and ETA. This data can't afford to fall into the wrong hands. Cars could be stolen to order, houses burgled, and people stalked.Today's solution is the hierarchy of trust - a chain of passwords from headquarters, down to the devices. But sharing data in this way with 'trusted organisations' risks data leaks. In June 2023 Shell Recharge's EV charging stations leaked millions of customers'; names, phone numbers, and home addresses \[TechCrunch,2023\].Indeed any hierarchical organisation or structure necessarily embeds "single point of failure" risks where a security breach at any point compromises everything below it. Interconnected networks, by contrast, allow problems and attacks to be contained, without affecting the rest of the system. A 'Web of Trust' delivers this crucial robustness, which is a critical requirement for any trust-reliant infrastructure. Furthermore, a Web of Trust can accurately quantify the level of trust for any given actor, to a degree which hierarchies can not.The deep tech at the heart of this project is a Zero Knowledge Web of Trust. Enabling the provider to maintain total privacy when sharing data, while simultaneously enabling the recipient to have trust in the data they receive.Deep Origin's breakthrough will remove a major barrier to data sharing between EVs and those who could use it. In doing so, it will unlock dramatically more data from the EV's and enable the Energy Market to operate more efficiently. It will lessen the significant need for increased electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure. And it will enable EV's 'giant-battery' to act in a coordinated way to onboard renewables as fast and to the greatest extent possible.
