    Abstract

    Modern Critical infrastructures have command and control systems. These command and control systems are commonly called supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). In the past, SCADA system has a closed operational environment, so these systems were designed without security functionality. Nowadays, as a demand for connecting the SCADA system to the open network growths, the study of SCADA system security is an issue. A key-management scheme is critical for securing SCADA communications. Numerous key-management structures for SCADA also have been suggested. 11770-2 Mechanism 9 Key establishment Protocol has been used in SCADA communication however a security proof for the 11770-2 Mechanism 9 protocol is needed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general overview about SCADA system, and its related security issues. Furthermore, we try to investigate the importance of key management protocol and the need of formal security poof.
