Addresses the Security Issues and Safety in Cyber-Physical Systems of Drones

Abstract

Drones' cyber-physical systems (CPS), which integrate computer, networking, and physical systems, can also be vulnerable to various security threats. As CPS often consists of a network of interdependent devices and systems, any one part may be the target of a cyberattack. By inserting malware into the software, exploiting vulnerabilities, or initiating cyber attacks, including denial-of-service attacks, cyber attackers can access the drone's control system unauthorised. Drones' onboard computers produce an immense amount of data, some of which may be very confidential. Data breaches and privacy violations can occur if this information is not encrypted or maintained securely.
