PhD in Cyber security threats against UAV System

INTRODUCTION

Wifi-based UAVs are prone to cyber-attacks and due to their widespread usage in various commercial and defense fields, there is a need for a technology that can protect them against getting exploit.

This research paper is based on a comprehensive security framework that deploys a defense-in-depth approach so that it can minimize the vulnerability of cyber security attacks and data breaching.

IDEAS

Many large-scale organizations are planning to deploy Unmanned Aerial Vehicles so as to minimize the manpower and maximize consistency, accuracy, and speed of delivery. The proposed model intends to mitigate the chances of cyber security threats in this technology.

ISSUES IN THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY

In the current technology, the hackers are able to exploit open Telnet access and issue a de-authentication attack that forces the Parrot AR and Bebop UAVs.

APPROACH

The proposed research paper is based on a new Bebop Platform. A watchdog timer has been added to limit the time period (t) taken by the CPU for non-navigational processes.  It is deployed to safeguard the DoS attacks and will operate in the domain of the OS. A hardline input data filtering of all the data is directed to be sent to the UAV’s embedded system as it will be capable of interrupting and terminating the non-compliant process. Also, the anti-spoofing mechanism will mitigate the entire structure against malicious cyber-attacks.

The proposed model is based on three common attacks; Denial of Service or DoS, Buffer-overflow, and ARP cache poisoning. This will be supported by a multi-layered framework against cyber-attacks this is extendable and could be easily implied to defend attacks against other threats.
