Cyber Security aboard Micro Aerial Vehicles: An OpenTitan-based Visual Communication Use Case. (arXiv:2303.16554v1 [cs.CR])

Autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), with a form factor of 10cm in
diameter, are an emerging technology thanks to the broad applicability enabled
by their onboard intelligence. However, these platforms are strongly limited in
the onboard power envelope for processing, i.e., less than a few hundred mW,
which confines the onboard processors to the class of simple microcontroller
units (MCUs). These MCUs lack advanced security features opening the way to a
wide range of cyber security vulnerabilities, from the communication …
