Abstract
In recent years, the concept of the Internet of Things has been introduced. Information, communication, and network technology can be integrated, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from consumer leisure and entertainment toys can be utilized in high value commercial, agricultural, and defense field applications, and become a killer product. In this paper, a traceable and privacy-preserving authentication is proposed to integrate the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), digital signature, hash function, and other cryptography mechanisms for UAV application. For sensitive areas, players must obtain flight approval from the ground control station before they can control the UAV in these areas. The traditional cryptography services such as integrity, confidentiality, anonymity, availability, privacy, non-repudiation, defense against DoS (Denial-of-Service) attack, and spoofing attack can be ensured. The feasibility of mutual authentication was proved by BAN logic. In addition, the computation cost and the communication cost of the proposed scheme were analyzed. The proposed scheme provides a novel application field.
Highlights
With the development of battery power, sensing systems, artificial intelligence and other technologies, small commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) combining these technologies have, in recent years, become a very popular product
All UAVs manufactured, all mobile devices carried by players, and all ground control stations must be registered to the trusted authority center through a secure channel
The player transfers the purchase or rental certificate of the UAV, and the flight path agreed by the ground control station to the UAV
Summary
With the development of battery power, sensing systems, artificial intelligence and other technologies, small commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) combining these technologies have, in recent years, become a very popular product. Wesson et al [13] further analyzed and evaluated the cryptographic strategies of ADS-B based on their effectiveness and practicality in the cost-averse, technologically-complex, and interoperability-focused aviation community The purpose of these works was to find a suitable mechanism to ensure the security of the UAVs system for sensitive control areas. It is a fact that to prevent all intrusions from being attacked by hackers, the fundamental solution is to propose an effective and comprehensive security protocol Such a secure mechanism should comprehensively detect and provide information and identity authentication to achieve the purposes of availability, privacy, and non-repudiation and to defend against known attacks for the UAV’s environment. The authors considered that location, identity, and flying routes of each legitimate UAV are sensitive information in the IoD network They proposed a secure authentication and privacy protection for an efficient MEC-assisted (mobile edge computing) framework.
