Security Authentication System Using Encrypted Channel on UAV Network

Today, UAVs are used in various fields such as monitor, search and rescue missions as well as military. UAVs are useful in various fields, but security has always been a major concern. Additionally, UAV carries sensitive information related to people's privacy and it causes critical problems if the data is exploited by malicious attackers. There were many attempts to solve security problems of UAVs but there is no typical way to protect UAVs from cyber attacks. In this research, we focus on a solution of hijacking network channel or physical hardware by anonymous attackers on commercial UAVs. This paper proposed maintaining control of UAV in hijacking problem with an additional encrypted communication channel, authentication algorithm and DoS attack through Raspberry Pi and shown high applicability on the commercial UAVs.
