Abstract
At present, the great progress made by the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the emergence of the Internet of Drones (IoD). IoD is an extension of the IoT, which is used to control and manipulate drones entering the flight area. Now, the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) has been introduced into the IoD; it can transmit ultra-high-definition data, make the drones respond to ground commands faster and provide more secure data transmission in the IoD. However, because the drones communicate on the public channel, they are vulnerable to security attacks; furthermore, drones can be easily captured by attackers. Therefore, to solve the security problem of the IoD, Hussain et al. recently proposed a three-party authentication protocol in an IoD environment. The protocol is applied to the supervision of smart cities and collects real-time data about the smart city through drones. However, we find that the protocol is vulnerable to drone capture attacks, privileged insider attacks and session key disclosure attacks. Based on the security of the above protocol, we designed an improved protocol. Through informal analysis, we proved that the protocol could resist known security attacks. In addition, we used the real-oracle random model and ProVerif tool to prove the security and effectiveness of the protocol. Finally, through comparison, we conclude that the protocol is secure compared with recent protocols.

This paper first summarizes the importance and combination of Internet of Drones (IoD) and 5G, reviews the recent AKA protocol in IoD and briefly reviews the protocol of Hussain et al [21], pointing out that Hussain et al.’s protocol [21] is vulnerable to drone capture attacks, privileged insider attacks and session key disclosure attacks
Summary
The development of artificial intelligence [1,2,3] and network has witnessed significant advances. The IoT deploys sensors in a specific network area to collect real-time information to meet various user needs. When users want to obtain the information captured by drones in a certain area, they send a data request to the servers. The servers find the drones in the corresponding area and ask to upload the captured information, transmit the data through 5G technology to meet user needs. Drones flying in a certain area are susceptible to being captured by attackers and the secret values stored in the memory would be exposed [23,26] These problems make it necessary to design security protocols to ensure normal communication.
