et al. suffers from the desynchronization attack, and, at the same time, it lacks scalability due to inefficient key management. Then, we propose a new scalable key management (SKM) scheme characterized by combining identity-based cryptosystem and efficient key tree technique. The scheme SKM possesses advantages of efficiency and flexibility in key management. In particular, the cost of SKM is

$O(\log n)$

in either aspect of computation and communication (

$n$

is the number of smart meters), which is significantly reduced from the cost of

$O(n)$

in the scheme of Liu et al. We analyze security and performance of SKM in detail to show that SKM is efficient in computation and communication cost.">
