A Survey of Security in UAVs and FANETs: Issues, Threats, Analysis of Attacks, and Solutions
Thanks to the rapidly developing technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
are able to complete a number of tasks in cooperation with each other without
need for human intervention. In recent years, UAVs, which are widely utilized
in military missions, have begun to be deployed in civilian applications and
mostly for commercial purposes. With their growing numbers and range of
applications, UAVs are becoming more and more popular; on the other hand, they
are also the target of various threats which can exploit various
vulnerabilities of UAV systems in order to cause destructive effects. It is
therefore critical that security is ensured for UAVs and the networks that
provide communication between UAVs. In this survey, we aimed to present a
comprehensive detailed approach to security by classifying possible attacks
against UAVs and flying ad hoc networks (FANETs). We classified the security
threats into four major categories that make up the basic structure of UAVs;
hardware attacks, software attacks, sensor attacks, and communication attacks.
In addition, countermeasures against these attacks are presented in separate
groups as prevention and detection. In particular, we focus on the security of
FANETs, which face significant security challenges due to their characteristics
and are also vulnerable to insider attacks. Therefore, this survey presents a
review of the security fundamentals for FANETs, and also four different routing
attacks against FANETs are simulated with realistic parameters and then
analyzed. Finally, limitations and open issues are also discussed to direct
future wor
