Abstract

The rapid proliferation of Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructures has led to the massive generation of high-frequency streaming data uploaded to cloud platforms for real-time analysis, while such data supports intelligent energy management and behavioral analytics, it also encapsulates sensitive user information, the disclosure or misuse of which can lead to significant privacy and security threats. This work addresses these challenges by developing a secure and scalable scheme for protecting and verifying streaming data during storage and collaborative analysis. The proposed scheme ensures end-to-end confidentiality, forward security, and integrity verification while supporting efficient encrypted aggregation and fine-grained, time-based authorization. It introduces a lightweight mechanism that hierarchically organizes cryptographic keys and ciphertexts over time, enabling privacy-preserving queries without decrypting individual data points. Building on this foundation, an electric vehicle key management and query system is further designed to integrate the proposed encryption and verification scheme into practical V2X environments. The system supports privacy-preserving data sharing, verifiable statistical analytics, and flexible access control across heterogeneous cloud and edge infrastructures. Analytical and experimental evidence show that the designed system attains rigorous security guarantees alongside excellent efficiency and scalability, rendering it ideal for large-scale electric vehicle data protection and analysis tasks.
