Security Enhancement of Drone Considering the Characteristics of Data Transmitted between Wireless Channels
This work tackles drone security issues for military and industrial applications, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing certified modules.
The paper addresses security vulnerabilities in drones equipped with certified cryptographic modules by developing a theoretical model and complementary measures to enhance data protection in wireless channels.
With the development of the fourth industrial revolution technology, the type and scope of use of drones are rapidly increasing. As interest in drones increases, research on related security vulnerabilities is actively being conducted, and discussions on security measures have also been developed to prevent them. Military has established and applied various security measures for this, and in particular, drones equipped with KCMVP-certified cryptographic modules are required to be introduced as a way to protect data on the drone's wireless channels. However, despite being equipped with such a certified cryptographic module, the drone's operating environment and structural properties have the potential to expose it to several security vulnerabilities. In this paper, we present a theoretical model for these security vulnerabilities and measures to complement them.
