Turning Noises to Fingerprint-Free "Credentials": Secure and Usable Drone Authentication

arXiv:2302.09197v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Drones have been widely used in various services, such as delivery and surveillance. Authentication forms the foundation of the security of these services. However, drones are expensive and may carry important payloads. To avoid being captured by attackers, drones should keep a safe distance from the verifier before authentication succeeds. This makes authentication methods that only work in very close proximity not applicable. Our work leverages drone noises for authentication. While using sounds for authentication …
