Security of EV Charging networks against unauthorized access
Analyze, secure, and design EV charging systems against real-world cyber threats and unauthorized access.
Micro-credential developed in partnership with
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates, the security of charging infrastructure has become a critical concern across modern energy and mobility systems. This course provides a structured, real-world perspective on the cybersecurity of EV charging networks, examining how vulnerabilities emerge across physical hardware, embedded firmware, communication protocols, and cloud-based management systems. Drawing on industry standards such as OCPP and ISO 15118, learners will explore key threat vectors including spoofing, man-in-the-middle attacks, firmware exploitation, and credential compromise. The course integrates academic foundations with practical insights, emphasizing defense-in-depth architectures, secure authentication models, and risk-driven security design. By the end, participants will be equipped to analyze system-level risks, apply appropriate security controls, and contribute to the development of resilient, secure EV charging ecosystems.
