We propose in this paper a new highly scalable key management scheme for WSN. We make use, for the first time, of the unital design theory for key pre-distribution in WSN. We propose a naive mapping from unitals to key pre-distribution as well as an enhanced unital-based key management scheme. We analyze our solution and compare it to basic approaches; results show that our scheme enhances considerably the network scalability while providing good overall performances.
