Secure Video Transmission System for UAV Applications
Dimitrios Psilias, Athanasios Milidonis, Ioannis Voyiatzis · 2021
UAV applications are starting to increase nowadays. Their data demanding applications are implemented mostly using software platforms. These applications have critical requirements on high performance, power consumption and there should be security at their transmissions, especially for video data. In this paper, an architecture is proposed for secure video transmission for UAV applications. The system consists of a digital camera a transmission board to transmit the video and a FPGA for implementing the security encryption tasks. The camera sends the video data to the FPGA and the inside circuit encrypts the video data. The transmission module transmits the encrypted data to the Ground Station (GS). Measurements taken concerning the execution time and power consumption, reveal the benefits of the proposed architecture in comparison with well-known software platforms.
