Abstract:
Communication security is critically important for the success of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). With the increasing use of UAVs in military and civilian applications, they often carry sensitive information that adversaries might try to get hold of. While UAVs consist of various modules to enable them to function properly, potential security vulnerabilities may also exist in those modules. For example, by launching a GPS spoofing attack or WiFi attack, adversaries can capture the targeted UAV and access the sought after information. In fact, it has become easy to launch such attacks. In this article, we report our low-cost implementation of these attacks and suggest solutions to them.
