Securing Authentication and Detecting Malicious Entities in Drone Missions

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study proposes a hierarchical communication framework for drone swarms designed to enhance security and operational efficiency. Leveraging elliptic curve cryptography and space quanta concepts, the model ensures continuous authentication and risk assessment of participating entities. Experimental results demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness in mitigating security risks, achieving reliable communication even in adverse conditions. Key findings include significant improvement in threat detection accuracy and reduced computational overhead, validating the model’s applicability for real-world drone swarm operations. These contributions establish a robust foundation for secure and resilient drone coordination.
