A Lightweight Identity Privacy Protection Scheme For Electric Vehicles Based On Consortium Blockchain

As electric vehicle (EV) utilization in energy trading expands, protecting user identity privacy during transactions has become a critical area of research. Current privacy protection schemes face significant challenges, including the risks of identity leakage, insufficient protection against double signatures, and low verification efficiency. To address these challenges, this document proposes a lightweight identity privacy protection scheme based on blockchain technology from the consortium. The scheme introduces an improved linkable ring signature algorithm, which guarantees identity anonymity while effectively preventing double signature attacks. In addition, this paper develops a batch aggregation signature and verification algorithm designed to significantly improve verification efficiency in highly concurrent environments. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms existing solutions in security, computational efficiency, and communication overhead. Compared to existing solutions, this approach provides substantial improvements, making it a promising approach to secure user privacy within the rapidly evolving domain of EV energy trading.
