“…In Table 5, we present the existing formal models for different UAV authentication schemes, the considered features, and their proven security properties. According to the reported results, we remark that few works did not consider the formal security analysis of their authentication schemes 14,19,20,22 . Moreover, we found that the most frequently used models are the ROM and the Dolev‐Yao models.…”

“…While UAV authentication protocols enable secure communication, they raise security and performance challenges that need to be addressed. In the existing literature, several UAV authentication protocols are applied in diverse applications in computing and communication technologies (e.g., computer networks, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0) 7‐26 . Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive study has contrasted UAV authentication protocols to each other in terms of security and performance.…”

In the past few years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have significantly gained attention and popularity from industry, government, and academia. With their rapid development and deployment into the civilian airspace, UAVs play an important role in different applications, including goods delivery, search‐and‐rescue, and traffic monitoring. Therefore, providing secure communication through authentication models for UAVs is necessary for a successful and reliable flight mission. To satisfy such requirements, numerous authentication mechanisms have been proposed in the literature. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive study evaluating the security and performance of these solutions. In this article, we analyze the security and performance of 27 recent UAV authentication works by considering ten different key metrics. First, in the performance analysis, we show that the majority of UAV authentication schemes are lightweight in their communication cost. However, the storage overhead or the energy consumption is not reported by many authentication studies. Then, we reveal in the security analysis the widely employed formal models (i.e., abstract description of an authentication protocol through a mathematical model), while most of the studies lack coverage of many attacks that can target UAV systems. Afterwards, we highlight the challenges that need to be addressed in order to design and implement secure and reliable UAV authentication schemes. Finally, we summarize the lessons learned on the authentication strategies for UAVs to motivate promising direction for further research.

Summary Today, with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can play a significant role in terms of stability, reliability, connectivity, and coverage. The integration of UAVs and IoT led to the Internet of Flying Things (IoFT). Internet of drones (IoD) is an infrastructure that provides access and control over the Internet between users and drones. One of the most critical challenges in IoFT and IoD is security. In this article, a systematic review is proposed to analyze the existing literature in the field of IoFT and IoD security. We explain the research methodology including the article selection process and the search queries. Thirteen articles were selected out of 166 articles that were published between 2019 and September 2021. Furthermore, the security approaches in the selected articles are classified into five main categories: security vulnerability and eavesdropping, security realization by Blockchain, secure trajectory and secure communication link, authentication and privacy approaches, and security‐enhanced resource allocation. The main ideas, advantages, disadvantages, the employed tools, and evaluation parameters of each selected article are also discussed in detail. Finally, we point out the open issues and orientations of future researches.

“…The general weakness of the security protection capability of the massive terminals. Power grid terminals generally have the characteristics of low power consumption and low cost [2]. Besides, their computing and storage resources are limited, so they cannot employ complex security mechanisms, security protection protocols or security encryption algorithms, resulting in the general weak security defense capability of terminals.…”

With the wide application of power grids, the massive heterogeneous terminals become important data collection nodes and data relay nodes. However, the openness of the power system exposes the power grid to various security threats. Authentication key agreement protocol can provide authentication and session key sharing services and is the most important technical means to protect the communication security of power grids. However, the design of authentication key agreement protocols for power grids faces many challenges. Firstly, the members of the power grid change frequently, and each new member needs to be authenticated with the edge side equipment every time it joins, so the existing authentication scheme has a large computational overhead. Furthermore, the network communication bandwidth is limited, and the existing schemes have a high time overhead due to the number of communication interactions when performing terminal authentication with the edge side equipment. Finally, the existing schemes all use non-national secret algorithms, which cannot achieve autonomous control. This paper designs a lightweight power grid authentication key agreement protocol based on the state-secure SM9 algorithm to address the above technical challenges. Also, corresponding security proofs based on the threat model of power grids and the existing attack patterns are offered, and code implementation is carried out. It is experimentally verified that the computation time overhead and communication overhead of this scheme are smaller than those of the existing authentication key agreement protocols based on identification cryptosystems.
