AB - Today, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, are increasingly used by organizations, businesses and governments in a variety of military and civilian applications, including reconnaissance, border surveillance, port security, transportation, public safety surveillance, agriculture, scientific research, rescue and more. However, drone cybersecurity has become a major concern due to the growing risk of cyberattacks aimed at compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of drone systems. These cyberattacks can have serious consequences, such as disclosure or theft of sensitive data, loss of drones, disruption of drone performance, etc. In the existing literature, little work has been devoted to the cybersecurity of UAV systems. To fill this gap, a taxonomy of cyberattacks in UAV is proposed focusing on the three main categories, namely interception attacks against confidentiality, modification or fabrication attacks against integrity and disruption attacks against data availability. Next, a survey of defense techniques that can be used to protect UAV systems is carried out. Finally, a discussion is held on technologies for improving drone cybersecurity, such as Blockchain and Machine Learning, as well as the challenges and future direction of research. © 2023 EverScience Publications.

N1 - This article discussed the topic of cyber security in UAV systems. The taxonomy of cyberattacks in UAVs was used to classify the different attacks considering confidentiality, integrity and availability. The cyberattacks analyzed were grouped into three categories namely: data interception, data modification/fabrication, and data disruption. The defense techniques against these types of cyberattacks have been presented in this paper and include cryptography, firewall, cyberattack detection systems, access control, etc. In addition, technologies that can enhance the security of UAVs and improve their resilience to cyberattacks including Blockchain and Machine Learning were presented in this article. Thus, cybersecurity in UAV systems remains an area to be exploited by researchers given that cyberattacks have been increasing exponentially in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary for UAV designers, users and computer security researchers to be up to date on cybersecurity in order to take adequate security measures. Finally, research is needed to develop defense techniques and cybersecurity enhancement technologies for UAV systems.
