Authentication system and method for providing authentication service specific to unmanned aerial vehicle and ground station

Abstract

The invention discloses an authentication system and method for providing an authentication service specific to an unmanned aerial vehicle and a ground station, and belongs to the technical field of authentication. The system comprises the unmanned aerial vehicle, the ground station and an authentication center, wherein the ground station sends an identity authentication request message including unmanned aerial vehicle and ground station certificates to the authentication center; the authentication center returns an identity authentication response message; and the ground station and the unmanned aerial vehicle resolve to obtain an authentication result, and establish a data link and negotiate a key if the identities of both parties are legal. The digital certificates of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the ground station are issued and managed through introduction of a third authentication mechanism, namely, the authentication center, and the identity legality of the current unmanned aerial vehicle and ground station can be judged through verification of the certificates of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the ground station which are currently correlated with each other and send authentication requests, so that an illegal unmanned aerial vehicle is prevented from accessing a ground station network system and that an illegal ground station is prevented from controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle. Meanwhile, illegal stealing of user communication data can be prevented, and the security of unmanned aerial vehicle communication is enhanced greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of authentication, in particular to an authentication system and method for providing authentication services for unmanned aerial vehicles and ground stations. Background technique [0002] UAVs have a wide range of applications in aerial photography, flight performances, disaster prevention and rescue, scientific investigation and other fields. With the rapid development of electronic technology, small and micro drones have made significant breakthroughs in remote control, battery life, and flight quality, and have become the focus of attention in the field of general aviation that has emerged in recent years, and are generally considered to have good development prospect. [0003] At present, unmanned aerial vehicles have begun to enter the consumer market, especially multi-rotor aircraft, typically, such as four-axis multi-rotor aircraft, which have become the first choice for aerial photography in the consumer ma...
