Abstract
As an important branch of the Internet of Things, Internet of Drones
(loD) is changing the way of human life. However, loD suffer cyber
attacks in practice. In 2021, Hussain et al. proposed an loD
authentication scheme based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) to
solve this problem. Through analysis, their scheme is expensive to
calculate and difficult to adapt to loD environment. As a result, a new
lightweight authentication scheme based on secure one-way hash function
and bitewise XOR operations was proposed. The experimental results show
that the proposed scheme not only guarantees the safety, but also has
lower computation cost. Thus, it is more suitable for loD.
