In this modern technological world, the Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) assisted Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) is almost being used by every developing/developed country for its serving civilian, military missions and natural disasters, etc. The military using UAV aided HetNets in their battlefields and nuclear war conditions and gathering reconnaissance information from hostile areas and neighboring military zones. However, the untypical nature of UAV assisted network requests security inspection at the time of establishing the network. So the UAV assisted HetNets is in need of trusted and secure communication among military users using the same network. The term trusted is being widely used for authorized users within the network. This research work confers the word trusted on the standardization of the cryptographic scheme known Identity-Based Encryption (IBE). Hence, the IBE helps the users to use the UAV aided HetNets securely in getting the reconnaissance information from enemy areas. Also, the IBE prevents the same network from the intrusion attacks of intruders. The security protocols have been formulated with the AVISPA supported language HLPSL and then validated with the same AVISPA TOOL.
