A verifiably secure and robust authentication protocol for synergistically-assisted IoD deployment drones.

ABSTRACT: Drones have limited computing and storage resources, which makes them unable to perform complex tactical tasks; drones working in clusters can be employed for such complex tactical task completion. But, the synergy between these drones working in clusters is mandatory. Otherwise, the adversary can easily target them, disturb their routine work, and even disturb the whole system. Only a robust and lightweight authentication protocol can handle both information fusion and collaboration and coordination of drones working in clusters efficiently and effectively and is one of the essential components of the Internet of Drones (IoD) environment as it is deployed for quick and intelligent decisions. In this regard, the already available security mechanisms for IoD deployment drones have either de
