An Efficient and Reliable User Access Protocol for Internet of Drones

The Internet of Drones (IoD) has blown up the interest academia and industry due to their deployment in military civil fields. In IoD environment, drones collect transmit real-time data users through an insecure wireless medium. A secure efficient authentication protocol is required ensure that only authorized communicate send authentic users. For this purpose, Zhang et al. introduced for environment asserted it could hold out against many known attacks. However, after cautious scrutiny, paper manifests shortcomings still exist design. This article introduces enhanced, lightweight, mitigate drawbacks al.’s protocol. performance comparison depicts proposed scheme provides enhanced security with minimal computation cost. rise communication cost legitimate as renders better protection than preceding protocols. formal automated analysis carried via ProVerif prove withstands numerous
