Abstract
En 中文
Owing to the on-demand deployment, low cost, and flexibility, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are capable of performing tasks such as data monitoring, collection, and sharing. However, the openness of UAV wireless networks makes data susceptible to security threats such as theft, tampering, and forgery during collaborative data sharing and mission execution. Additionally, the limited resources and high mobility of UAVs further exacerbate challenges related to data security and reliability. To address these issues, this paper proposes a blockchain-based secure data sharing scheme for cloud-assisted multi-UAV networks. Specifically, we leverage cloud-based infrastructure to undertake the storage of massive data, significantly offloading the computational and storage burdens on the UAVs. Simultaneously, blockchain is integrated to establish immutable and traceable trust for the shared data, ensuring strong security, integrity, and retrievability under the constraints of UAV resources. On this basis, a certificateless searchable encryption algorithm is employed to eliminates traditional certificates management overhead and enables lightweight, distributed, and efficient search based on predefined keywords. Furthermore, we introduce an access control list based on geofencing to specify the data sharing permissions of UAVs, strictly limiting the data access permissions within specific area, thereby reducing the misuse or abuse of data. This scheme is proven to achieve ciphertext and trapdoor indistinguishability against keyword guessing attacks. The performance analysis indicates that the efficiency advantages of the proposed scheme become increasingly prominent as the number of UAVs increases.
