SETCAP: Service-Based Energy-Efficient Temporal Credential Authentication Protocol for Internet of Drones

Internet of Drones (IoD) is a framework to set up drones networks that may serve multiple purposes, e.g., data collection. New IoD applications (such as drone assisted internet vehicles) envision the simultaneous collection types. Although authentication prevent unauthorized users access collected data, existing solutions do not distinguish between different types by drones. Therefore, authenticated receive sensitive regarding another user incurring hence in privacy leakage. In this paper, we propose SETCAP, novel Service-Based Energy-Efficient Temporal Credential Authentication Protocol for IoD. SETCAP exploits distinction information We formally test against Real-Or-Random (ROR) model and implemented Automated Validation Security Protocols Applications (AVISPA) simulation tool. Moreover, validated via non-mathematical security analysis show its many attacks. assessed superiority terms functionality characteristics well computation, communication, energy costs. The communication cost creating session approximately 20% smaller than closest state-of-the-art protocol. Furthermore, requires creation number sessions are additive users, whereas multiplicative. therefore secure scalable solution resource-constrained devices such
