Smart cities are made of different interconnected components that exchange data and facilitate the urban living for citizens. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, known as drones, are components used in various civilian applications, such as agriculture, package delivery, and surveillance. To enhance drone’s flying safety and quality of service, a promising idea is to construct the Internet-of-Drones, where the drones are employed to collect the information, and citizens communicate with the drones of a particular flying zone via their mobile devices to obtain the data in real-time. However, due to the high sensitivity of the information, and the openness of communication media, privacy and security issues should be addressed. Specifically, an efficient and secure authentication scheme is needed to enable users and drones to authenticate each other and share a session key. Due to the drone’s limited resources and energy, the authentication scheme should be efficient regarding the computation overhead while providing high security. In this article, we devise a secure authentication scheme based on elliptic curve for drones to secure smart city surveillance. We demonstrate that our scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model, supporting the security requirements and resisting known attacks while incurring low computation and communication costs.

智慧城市由不同的相互连接的组件组成，这些组件交换数据并为市民提供便利的城市生活。无人驾驶飞机被称为无人机，是用于各种民用应用的组件，例如农业，包裹运送和监视。为了提高无人机的飞行安全性和服务质量，一个有前途的想法是构建无人机网络，在该网络中，无人机被用来收集信息，市民可以通过其移动设备与特定飞行区域的无人机进行通信以获取实时数据。但是，由于信息的高度敏感性和通信媒体的开放性，应解决隐私和安全性问题。特别，需要一种有效且安全的身份验证方案，以使用户和无人机能够相互身份验证并共享会话密钥。由于无人机的资源和能量有限，因此认证方案在提供高安全性的同时，应该在计算开销方面是高效的。在本文中，我们设计了一种基于椭圆曲线的无人机安全认证方案，以保护智能城市监控。我们证明了我们的方案在随机预言机模型中具有可证明的安全性，可支持安全性要求并抵御已知的攻击，同时降低了计算和通信成本。我们设计了一种基于椭圆曲线的无人机安全认证方案，以保护智能城市监控。我们证明了我们的方案在随机预言模型中可证明是安全的，可支持安全性要求并抵御已知的攻击，同时降低了计算和通信成本。我们设计了一种基于椭圆曲线的无人机安全认证方案，以保护智能城市监控。我们证明了我们的方案在随机预言机模型中具有可证明的安全性，可支持安全性要求并抵御已知的攻击，同时降低了计算和通信成本。
