Cyber Security Perspectives in Public Spaces

Abstract

As the public use drones (aircraft that can operate semi or autonomous), sometimes referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles or automotive aircrafts, to ease daily people's lifestyles, there are cyber security threats and cyber-attacks that hinder public safety and privacy during the moments when these drones are used. Cyber threats are analyzed based on the commonly known approaches to evaluate the cyber perspective and its effect on the public. Public drones' cyber security hazards are well tested using the STRIDE approach connected with the considered threats. The evaluation is highly dependent on the accuracy of drone mission definition, potential intruders, social, and other human-related cases. This chapter therefore encompasses the most current studies focusing on possible intruders portrayed as critical when carrying out a cyber security assessment. A brief future direction to mitigate cyber-related threats as it entails the public are conclusively depicted.
