Secure and Trusted Attestation Protocol for UAV Fleets

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are capable of a wide variety of social, economic, and military applications. Due to the fact that UAVs communicate through wireless technology, they are vulnerable to security assaults. Establishing trust between the UAV and the base station is a vital component of reducing these hazards in UAV networks. Due to the restricted resources available to UAVs, adopting typical trust-building procedures in UAV networks becomes challenging. Additionally, as the number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increases, this issue gets more critical. To address this issue, we offer a lightweight attestation mechanism for unmanned aerial vehicle swarms. Comparative analyses reveal that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art already available.
