A Secure Communication Protocol for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles using IoT Protocols

Abstract

IOT_MQTT is an open-source communication system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that is lightweight and extensively utilized. It is supported by a number of UAVs and autopilot systems, and it allows bidirectional communication. The findings demonstrate that our approach can encrypt IOT packets while maintaining performance and efficiency. The findings are confirmed in terms of transfer speed, performance, and efficiency when compared to other solutions in the literature such as smart dust and benchmarked against the original IoT-MQTT protocol.
