Abstract

Preliminary analysis in the field of information security in commercial UAV shows significant lacklustre in the implementation of information security [1,2]. This subsequently has made UAV to be especially vulnerable to information attack such as a simple Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack as it is sufficient to severely cripple many of the core functions of commercial UAVs. This research paper aims to provide recommendations in securing UAV from DOS attack works within UAV and proposed solutions against DOS attack. Such as general security guidelines of using long password with mix of special characters; implementing intrusion detection system within the intermediary devices between the connection of the UAV and the pilot, along with proper up-to-date firmware with patches installed; Implementation of an algorithm of a watch dog timer for proper allocation of resources and priority between the processing of network connection attempt and navigational control; Usage of a Raspberry Pi as an intermediary to router for a secure network connection by implementing intrusion detection system to alert the pilot in the event of an attack, and implement the moving target defense technique to hinder the adversaries attempting DOS attack.
