SUAI develops a method to protect drones from cyber attacks

SUAI scientists have developed a security system for unmanned vehicles using blockchain and cryptography technologies

The development allows to avoid attacks on the "brain" of drones. Unmanned systems (cars, trains, and aircraft) are based on a neural network and datasets on which the network is constantly being trained. These elements must be protected from attacks that can lead to a change in the "behavior" of the vehicle and, as a result, to accidents.

The results obtained can be applied in Internet of Things/IoT systems (a global network that allows smart devices to interact with each other). This will significantly improve the effectiveness of the relevant services' response to events in the IoT, as well as verify the reliability of information received from these systems.

At this stage, researchers are faced with the task of developing a more effective event verification protocol using elements of the IoT infrastructure with respect to the changing level of trust in each of the participants and observers of the event involved in the protocol of its fixation and verification.
