Title: Systems and methods for revocation management in an AMI network

Abstract

Systems and methods for certificate revocation management for advanced metering infrastructure networks are provided. An accumulation manager can be used to accumulate certificate revocation list (CRL) information and determine an accumulator value and a proof value based on the accumulated CRL information using a plurality of functions. These values can be sent on to smart meters, which can then use them for authentication purposes.
