“…The certificateless-based and ECC-based SLPAKA (Secure Lightweight Proven Authenticated Key Agreement) authentication method, which can cope with the widely used Canetti-Krawczyk (CK) adversary model [48], was presented in [49]. In this model, a probabilistic polynomial adversary was considered that could totally affect the communication channel.…”

During the last few years, a wide variety of Internet of Drones (IoD) applications have emerged with numerous heterogeneous aerial and ground network elements interconnected and equipped with advanced sensors, computation resources, and communication units. The evolution of IoD networks presupposes the mitigation of several security and privacy threats. Thus, robust authentication protocols should be implemented in order to attain secure operation within the IoD. However, owing to the inherent features of the IoD and the limitations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in terms of energy, computational, and memory resources, designing efficient and lightweight authentication solutions is a non-trivial and complicated process. Recently, the development of authentication mechanisms for the IoD has received unprecedented attention. In this paper, up-to-date research studies on authentication mechanisms for IoD networks are presented. To this end, the adoption of conventional technologies and methods, such as the widely used hash functions, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC), is discussed along with emerging technologies, including Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), Machine Learning (ML), and Blockchain. Additionally, this paper provides a review of effective hardware-based solutions for the identification and authentication of network nodes within the IoD that are based on Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs). Finally, future directions in these relevant research topics are given, stimulating further work.

“…Although they have lightweight features, the authentication protocol is vulnerable to session-specific temporary information attacks. Yahuza et al [ 24 ] and Zhang et al [ 25 ] proposed a secure and lightweight authentication key agreement technology for FANET deployment, and evaluated the security of the technology from theoretical methods and formal methods.…”

With the rapid development of wireless communication and edge computing, UAV-assisted networking technology has great significance in many application scenarios such as traffic forecasting, emergency rescue, military reconnaissance. However, due to dynamic topology changes of Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANET), frequent identity authentication is easy to cause the instability of communications between UAV nodes, which makes FANET face serious identity security threats. Therefore, it is an inevitable trend to build a secure and reliable FANET. In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual identity authentication scheme based on adaptive trust strategy for Flying Ad-hoc Networks (ATS-LIA), which selects the UAV with the highest trust value from the UAV swarm to authenticate with the ground control station (GCS). While ensuring the communication security, we reduce the energy consumption of UAV to the greatest extent, and reduce the frequent identity authentication between UAV and GCS. Through the security game verification under the random oracle model, it is proved that the proposed method can effectively resist some attacks, effectively reduce the computational overhead, and ensure the communication security of FANET. The results show that compared with the existing schemes, the proposed ATS-LIA scheme has lower computational overhead.

“…On the one hand, the primary purpose of attacks on the internet of drones (IoD) network just like other typical attacks is to gain access and alter the attacked messages for fulfilling the needs of the attacker [77,[81][82][83]. On the other hand, attacks on the drone compared to the typical cyber-attacks usually occur due to the severe design loopholes and lack of wireless security protection mechanisms.…”

Internet of Drones (IoD) is a decentralized network and management framework that links drones' access to the controlled airspace and provides inter-location navigation services. The interconnection of drones in the IoD network is through the Internet of Things (IoT). Hence the IoD network is vulnerable to all the security and privacy threats that affect IoT networks. It is highly required to safeguard a good atmosphere free from security and privacy threats to get the desired performance from IoD applications. Security and privacy issues have significantly restricted the overall influence of the IoD paradigm. There are existing survey studies that helped lay a vital foundation for understanding the IoD security and privacy issues. However, not all have thoroughly investigated the level of security and privacy threats associated with the various drone categories. Besides, most existing review studies do not examine secured IoD architecture. This paper aims to assess the recent trends in the security and privacy issues that affect the IoD network. We investigate the level of security and privacy threats of the various drone categories. We then highlight the need for secured IoD architecture and propose one. We also give a comprehensive taxonomy of the attacks on the IoD network. Moreover, we review the recent IoD attack mitigating techniques. We also provide the performance evaluation methods and the performance metrics employed by the techniques. Finally, we give research future direction to help researchers identify the latest opportunities in IoD research.
