SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRIVACY-PRESERVING ELECTRIC-VEHICLE CHARGING USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATED BLOCKCHAIN AND HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION

The present invention relates to a privacy-preserving EV charging authorization and billing system, and a method for the same. The proposed system is configured to integrate permissioned blockchain with fully homomorphic encryption. The present invention aims to eliminate plaintext exposure mitigates single point of failure, by performing all authorization and billing computations on encrypted data and recoding transactions immutably, wherein an EV user securely generates encrypted authorization and billing requests using FHE-based public keys. The charging station routes these encrypted requests to the blockchain network, which records immutable encrypted transactions and verifies them via consensus. The FHE computation layer performs secure operations on the encrypted data for authorization and billing, while smart contracts execute automated verification and billing computations, ensuring transparency and auditability.
