OCPP Security Profiles
A set of standardized security levels that define how a CSMS and charging station authenticate and protect their communication in OCPP.
Technical Details
OCPP defines three security profile levels that cover CSMS/charging-station authentication and communication security. OCPP 2.0.1 adds supporting building blocks such as client certificate key management, secure firmware updates, and security event logging to harden deployments against cyber attacks.
Fleet Applications
Helps fleet charging networks meet security requirements (auditable events, safer firmware rollouts, certificate-based authentication) and reduces risk of downtime or unauthorized control of infrastructure.
