Diversity: A Poor Man's Solution to Drone Takeover
Ali Davanian, Fabio Massacci, Luca Allodi · 2017
Drones are the new targets for hackers. On one hand, their widespread use and security weakness have made them very attractive for the attackers. On the other hand, there are a few security solutions for drones. Out of these few, some are just proposals, and fewer are in the early stage of development. We first assess the requirements of a security solution for drones and then analyse the effect of traditional cryptographic solutions on the drone's traffic volume and energy consumption. With recourse to Moving Target Defence, we propose a novel instruction diversity solution for drone security that is portable, and has zero overhead.
