title = "Secure communication in civil drones",
abstract = "The drone technology is attracting an increasing attention in civil applications. Secure communication is a critical requirement in many scenarios to provide an acceptable level of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In this chapter we first present a security analysis of civil drones. Then, a light-weight hardware solution is proposed to assure the confidentiality and integrity of both command data sent by the ground station and payload data transmitted by the drone. Using the developed prototype, finally, we investigate the impact of hardware accelerators on the power consumption of these power-constrained devices.We show that the advantage of hardware as a power-efficient computation platform is not necessarily valid for drones due to the extra hardware weight.",

note = "Funding Information: Commercial CDs are penetrating and the importance of these devices was recognized by the governments of many countries. Several research projects were supported by governmental and non-governmental funding sources: USICO (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Safety Issues For Civil Operations) is a European project that dealt with the operation and the safety of UAVs, e.g., for collision avoidance. CAPECON (Civil UAV Application & Economic Effectivity of Potential Configuration Solution) is another European project, which aimed at the specification of civilian applications for the UAVs. A major aspect of this project is the integration of large-scale UAVs into the air traffic control system. The design of a distributed control system for cooperative detection and monitoring using heterogeneous UAVs [] was the subject of the project COMETS funded by the European Union, too. Drones is another European project which focuses on microdrones for autonomous navigation for environment sensing. The purpose is the development of hardware and software modules to ensure flight stability, navigation, localization, and robustness to unexpected events. Several topics related to networked UAVs were investigated at the Aerospace Controls Laboratory at MIT []. These include sensor network design, adaptive control, and model predictive control. Starmac is a project at Stanford University [], which works on autonomous collision and obstacle avoidance and task assignment formation flight using both centralized and decentralized techniques. Additionally to these projects, an enormous amount of individual research chapters can be found in the literature that address different topics such as specific control systems [–] and obstacle avoidance approaches [–].
