TL;DR
A novel protocol is proposed that replaces LIGKYX’s ECC with Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) for device authentication and integrates the post-quantum Kyber mechanism for key establishment and is formally verified to resist replay, impersonation, desynchronization, and capture attacks.
Abstract
: Secure UAV communication requires robust, quantum-resistant protocols that are resilient to physical capture and operate under severe resource constraints. This work identifies critical vulnerabilities—including desynchronization, capture attacks, and lack of forward secrecy—in the LIGKYX protocol(Xia et al., 2024). To address these flaws, we propose a novel protocol that replaces LIGKYX’s ECC with Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) for device authentication and integrates the post-quantum Kyber mechanism for key establishment. Enhanced with authenticated encryption and nonce-based key derivation, our protocol is formally verified (using BAN logic) to resist replay, impersonation, desynchronization, and capture attacks. Performance analysis confirms its lower computational and communication overhead, making it suitable for constrained UAV networks.
Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) composed of highly mobile Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly employed in mission-critical applications. However, the open wireless medium, high mobility, and resource constraints of UAVs expose FANETs to severe security and privacy threats, particularly at the Medium Access...

Performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed authentication technique maintains practical computational and communication overhead and provides post-quantum mutual authentication, dual-directional key establishment, and dynamic unlinkability, making it suitable for large-scale, real-time IoV deployments.
