Abstract
Drones, sometimes called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), can be deployed in a flying Internet of Things (IoT)/Internet of Drones (IoD) environment to execute some specific tasks, like environmental monitoring, disaster management, aerial photography, monitoring and tracking of enemies at borders, and many more. For security reasons, the deployed drones can sense and collect the data from their surroundings, and then securely send the information to the ground station server. The ground station server then provides the collected data to the peer-to-peer cloud server (P2PCS) network after converting them into encrypted transactions in a secure way. Finally, the blocks are created from the encrypted transactions and added into a blockchain by applying consensus algorithms implemented by the P2PCS network. The deployed artificial intelligence (AI)-based big data analytics is required to predict the useful results from the collected and processed data. In this article, we propose a novel AI-envisioned smart-contract-based blockchain-enabled security framework for secure communication in IoD. The provided security analysis proves the security of the proposed framework against different potential attacks. The blockchain implementation of the proposed framework is then executed to identify its impact on the performance of the system.
