Smart energy management system in smart grid carries a large number of sensitive data, which needs encryption algorithm to ensure the security of system communication. At present, most of the terminal devices of smart grid are embedded devices with limited computing resources, and their communication encryption mostly relies on AES encryption algorithm. It is difficult in key management and key distribution. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved ECC-AES hybrid encryption algorithm. Firstly, ECC algorithm is improved to improve the speed of encryption and decryption, and then the improved ECC algorithm is used as a supplement to AES algorithm. ECC is used to encrypt the AES key, which improves the security of the algorithm. At the same time, the experimental simulation also proves that the improved ECC algorithm has obvious performance improvement in computing time, CPU occupancy and memory usage.
