With the advent of clean energy awareness and systems that rely on extensive battery usage, the community has seen an increased interest in the development of more complex and secure Battery Management Systems (BMS). In particular, the inclusion of BMS in modern complex systems like electric vehicles and power grids has presented a new set of securityrelated challenges. A concern is shown when BMS are intended to extend their communication with external system networks, as their interaction can leave many backdoors open that potential attackers could exploit. Hence, it is highly desirable to find a general design that can be used for BMS and its system inclusion. In this work, a security architecture solution is proposed intended for the communication between BMS and other system devices. The aim of the proposed architecture is to be easily applicable in different industrial settings and systems, while at the same time keeping the design lightweight in nature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
