UAV Electronic Governor Authentication via Encrypted Reciprocative Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The lack of authentication and data encryption in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) electronic governors allows for malicious modifications, potentially increasing loading capacity and flight range, posing safety risks and regulatory challenges.
Innovation Solution
An authentication system and method using a main control terminal with encryption and decryption modules, transceivers, and databases to verify the authenticity of the electronic governor, ensuring only authorized modifications and operations by encrypting and decrypting authentication and control data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If no authentication system is implemented, then the electronic governor can be freely modified to improve loading capacity and flight range, but this allows malicious modifications that pose safety risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements authentication before allowing the electronic governor to operate. The main control terminal verifies the electronic governor's authenticity through encrypted data exchange and authentication protocols, preventing unauthorized modified governors from controlling the UAV motor, thus resolving the contradiction between modification freedom and safety
2Object-affected harmful factors
If authentication and encryption are implemented, then safety is improved by preventing unauthorized modifications, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication module as an intermediary between the main control terminal and the electronic governor. This module handles encrypted data exchange and verification, isolating the complexity of security protocols from the core control functions while ensuring safety through authenticated communication
3Power
If the electronic governor is modified to increase drive power, then loading capacity and flight range are improved, but this enables malicious use and illegal purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by implementing authentication that prevents unauthorized modified electronic governors from operating. Even if someone modifies the governor to increase drive power, the authentication system detects the modification and blocks operation, countering the potential for malicious use before it can occur
Data Source
AI summary
An authentication system and method for an electronic governor of an unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed. By employing reciprocative authentication and encryption mechanisms between a main control terminal and an electronic governor, the use of a modified electronic governor is prevented and thus the illegal use of UAVs is also prevented. Moreover, the provided electronic governor may be operated in dual-mode to extend its compatibility to conventional main control terminals.
