| Abstract: | Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which are embedded, real-time systems, are being used in various fields such as military, logistics, surveillance, and mapping. UAVs face security threats due to their diverse peripherals and attack vectors. Real-world incidents, such as GPS spoofing and control signal manipulation, highlight the need for improved security systems in UAVs to prevent potential human losses and material damage. While prior research has examined UAV security vulnerabilities, it has primarily focused on individual attack techniques rather than systematically analyzing the relationship between software and hardware security risks. As such, effectively addressing these security threats necessitates a comprehensive analysis of the software and hardware architecture of UAVs and a systematic investigation of existing attack cases. This paper systematically analyzes UAV attack cases and defines a generalized UAV architecture based on commercial and opensource UAV platforms. Furthermore, we evaluate the security vulnerabilities in widely used UAV software frameworks, including PX4 Autopilot and the MAVLink communication protocol. Based on our findings, we propose a Secure UAV architecture leveraging ARM Platform Security Architecture (PSA) to enhance resilience against cyber threats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
