Abstract
The adoption of network- based aerial applications is being driven by the combination of low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Wi-Fi mesh networks (WMNs). In times of crisis, these technologies are essential to enable (i) instant, ubiquitous network connectivity, and (ii) productive exploration of large areas. However, significant security issues remain in these systems as WMNs are vulnerable to routing attacks, which could result in attacks on the network that could allow bad actors to take control of UAVs or even manipulate payload information. In our previous work, we experimentally demonstrated the vulnerability of state-ofthe-art security standards to routing attacks, including the security technologies in the IEEE 802.11i and IEEE 802.11s mesh standards
