    Scalable Topologies for Time-Optimal Authentication of UAV Swarms
    (IEEE, 2022-12) Chamola, Vinay
    Swarm-based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications require a large number of UAVs to be deployed across a region to work cooperatively. To operate a large number of unattended UAVs in hostile environments, it is critical to secure UAV-BS (base station) communications. UAV authentication based on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) has recently emerged as a potential solution for overcoming adversarial attacks. The performance of PUF-based authentication protocols is strongly influenced by various factors, including the time required to generate the topology, the number of bottleneck connections, and the network's traffic load. This article investigates how the authentication time for a UAV swarm is affected by various factors such as the type of topology, number of UAVs in the swarm and the number of parallel connections.

    RAMA: Real-Time Automobile Mutual Authentication Protocol Using PUF
    (IEEE, 2020) Chamola, Vinay
    The batteries of electric vehicles enable the functionality of V2G networks. The purpose of V2G is to handle the trading of energy for electric vehicles powered by batteries as well as the power grid. This is essential to make more efficient use of the energy of the grid. The electrical energy stored in the EV batteries can function as a power source for the grid and other energy-deficient EVs. The energy stored in the batteries of the EVs could be used to pump power into the grid when the load on the grid is too heavy. Despite its wide-ranging applications, the privacy and safety of intelligent grids continue to be a severe problem. Any protocol designed for V2G applications must be safe, lightweight, and safeguard the car owner's privacy. As individuals usually do not guard EVs and charging stations, physical security is also a must. To address these issues, we are proposing a Real-time Automotive Mutual Authentication protocol for V2G devices based on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF). PUFs are used by the proposed protocol to obtain a two-step mutual authentication (MA) between an EV and the Grid Server. It is lightweight, safe, and preserves privacy.
