Secured drone communication based on Esalsa20 algorithm and 1d logistic map

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">Over recent years, drones are increasingly being used not only for military tasks only, but also for civilian tasks too, such as environment and traffic monitoring, delivery services, and aerial surveys. Unfortunately, as they become more popular and in demand, they become more vulnerable to a variety of security threats. To combat such attacks and security threats, a proper design of a robust security and authentication system based on and stream cipher lightweight salsa20 algorithm with chaotic maps to cipher payload data to improve security network transfer of radio technical commission for maritime services (RTCM) messages over (NTRIP) communication protocol. By using a proposed key generation method which is based on a 1d logistic map to produce a flight session key for a drone with a flight plan, and then records the flight session key and the drone's flight plan in a central database that can be accessed. The proposed system is superior to other similar systems in terms of security and performance, according to the review.</span>

Quantum drones and the future of military warfare

“…The introduction of drone technology has resulted in numerous facets of military operations becoming more streamlined. Furthermore, the subsequent ways in which it will further transform the essence of military conflict are as follows [1], [5], [39], [49], [50], [53], [54], [57], [58]: -Enhanced reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) capabilities: Drones furnish realtime data regarding adversary movements, terrain, and target positions to ground commanders. In contrast to high-altitude aircraft, drones have the capability to capture images and videos at closer range while preserving their quality.…”

“…Drones are an extraordinarily valuable asset on account of the plethora of applications in which they have demonstrated success. Drones possess the capability to be modified to serve a multitude of purposes, in addition to being an indispensable component of militaries [1], [5], [39], [49], [50], [57], [58]. Presently in operation with armed forces worldwide are a variety of drones belonging to the subsequent classifications [53], [54]: Presently, the fixed-wing drone stands as the most sophisticated and swiftest military drones in operation across the globe.…”

“…Consequently, an increasing number of military units are contemplating the utilization of drones to enhance their combat and surveillance capabilities. The following are the most common functions of drones [1], [5], [39], [49], [50], [53], [54], [57], [58]…”

Threat of illicit drug trafficking in the maritime services of Colombia

“…While presenting cases of use of navigation systems to improve maritime domain knowledge and security (Jacobs et al, 2015); (Du et al, 2016). An encryption-based security system is also proposed to mitigate threats to drones used in maritime applications (Jomaa et al, 2023). In this sense, it is important to improve satellite navigation systems to guarantee safety in maritime traffic (Williams et al, 2023).…”
