Wicked Problem, Parsimonious Solution: Securing Electric Vehicle Charging Station Software
Position paper proposes hierarchical software quality assurance to characterize and secure EV charging station software attack surfaces.
The authors argue that charging station supply-equipment software is a largely unprotected and poorly characterized attack surface in EV charging infrastructure. They advocate applying hierarchical software quality assurance (HSQA) to this specialized software, spanning from individual vulnerabilities such as CVEs to high-level characteristics like the CIA Triad. HSQA embeds quality and security considerations across the entire software development lifecycle to assess and improve charging station software security.
- Charging station supply-equipment software is described as the most vulnerable element of EV charging infrastructure.
- HSQA provides a view from CVE-level weaknesses up to CIA Triad characteristics.
- The approach integrates security and quality checks throughout the software development lifecycle.
