This paper suggests the improvement of security in Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) communication protocol for the communication between the Ground Control Station (GCS) and the MAV. Proposed method involves the implementation of the Caesar Cipher method of data encryption with a secured key. The method of Ciphering is used for authentication of the Micro Aerial Vehicle at the beginning of the communication. Later the same is used for critical command, control and parameter messages at varied frequencies. This results in improvement of security and reliability of the system in defense and other high security applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
