As the number of electric cars on the road grows, so does the need for their electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and the internet-based managing systems within those stations. However, these managing systems face their own issues: cyberattacks.
Elias Bou-Harb, director of the UTSA Cyber Center for Security and Analytics, and his colleagues — Claud Fachkha of the University of Dubai and Tony Nasr, Sadegh Torabi and Chadi Assim of Concordia University in Montreal — are shedding light on the vulnerabilities of these cyber systems. The researchers are also recommending measures that would protect them from harm.
