Secure Routing Protocol Based on FANET

The flying ad-hoc network (FANET) technology-based secure routing protocol described in this study functions between a ground station and a UAV network. This protocol employs a hybrid authentication technique to guarantee communication dependability. The system is based on an asymmetric method that ensures secure connections between the UAV and the ground control station, as well as between the UAVs themselves. A symmetric scheme with digital signatures is used to encrypt the routing. Before joining the network, the UAV must register. During the registration process, the Key Distribution Center provides the necessary public and private keys for each node that wants to connect. Furthermore, crucial routing data is safeguarded using the TWINE algorithm. Wormhole attacks are avoided by using the packet binding method. Even in the event of an aggressor attack, simulations show that this routing system can sustain effective network functioning, ensuring a high packet delivery ratio and optimal network costs.
