Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have demonstrated a great deal of promise for sectors because of their advantageous characteristics, which include cheap maintenance costs and ease of deployment.Prior to the widespread use of industrial UAVs, there is still a significant obstacle in the form of the communication security issue. Untrusted communication environments can result in the loss of vital cargo that UAVs are carrying or the release of priceless industrial data. Conventional methods of communication security authentication include infrastructure-based public keys, identity-based authentication, and certificateless authentication. Some of these techniques may bring high-complexity computation, making them unsuitable for industrial drones, and they are centralized in nature. Thus, in order to address these issues, we have designed a distributed, lightweight, blockchain-assisted authentication service for industrial UAVs. The distributed and immutable storing of industrial UAV authentication data is supported by blockchain technology, and smart contracts make it easy for drones to obtain or update the relevant data. An assessment of our security shows that our plan can withstand a wide range of threats and ensure reliable communications for industrial drones. Comprehensive tests further demonstrate that our developed authentication service can be reliable even in the event that a tiny percentage of industrial UAVs are compromised, in addition to achieving minimal computing and communication costs.
