Abstract

Recently, Akram et al. (2021) proposed a drones-access protocol for monitoring urban security. Akram et al. claimed that their protocol is secure and can resist known security attacks.

In addition, their protocol does not provide perfect forward secrecy. Finally, we present an improved protocol to manage the security weaknesses we found.
