Abstract
Threats of eavesdropping and information leakages have increased sharply owing to advancements in wireless communication technology. In particular, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become vulnerable to sniffing or jamming attacks because broadcast communication is usually conducted in open-network environments. Although improved security protocols have been proposed to overcome the limitations of wireless-communication technology and to secure safe communication channels, they are difficult to apply to mobile communication networks and IoT because complex hardware is required. Hence, a novel security model with a lighter weight and greater mobility is needed. In this paper, we propose a security model applying cooperative friendly jamming using artificial noise and drone mobility, which are autonomous moving objects, and we demonstrate the prevention of eavesdropping and improved security through simulations and field tests. The Cooperative Friendly Jamming Techniques for Drone-based Mobile Secure Zone (CFJ-DMZ) can set a secure zone in a target area to support a safe wireless mobile communication network through friendly jamming, which can effectively reduce eavesdropping threats. According to the experimental results, the average information leakage rate of the eavesdroppers in CFJ-DMZ-applied scenarios was less than or equal to 3%, an average improvement of 92% over conventional methods.

Summary
Wireless communication network technology is evolving to meet the needs of users who want to use high-speed, high-capacity multimedia content without the limitations of location and time. Cases of information leakage have been continually occurring owing to the fundamental limitations of wireless communication, which is vulnerable to eavesdropping [1] To solve this problem, protocols and mechanisms have been proposed that improve the security or secure safe communication channels within the time, frequency, and space domains [2]. Techniques for Drone-based Mobile Secure Zone (CFJ-DMZ) to enhance the security in wireless communication environments for drones, which are IoT devices that can move autonomously while exchanging information with other surrounding devices. The CFJ-DMZ uses the mobility and artificial interference of autonomous moving objects to form a secure zone, which guarantees safe data communication in the wireless communication environment of mobile IoT and flexibly controls the zone to be protected, effectively mitigating eavesdropping threats.
