Abstract

Abstract

To address the single point failure of group key management in the existing hierarchical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) network, and the incapability of timely group key calculation and update caused by offline group members, a decentralized group key management scheme that supports asynchronous computing is proposed. The Asynchronous Ratchet Tree (ART) protocol is adopted to realize the pre-deployment of the group key, in which asynchronous calculation and autonomous update of the group key can be performed by each member. The decentralization feature of the blockchain technology is employed to solve the single point failure problem, which improves the transparency and fairness of group key management. The performance evaluation shows that, compared with existing schemes, the cluster member UAV in this scheme has lower computational overhead and communication overhead, and are suitable for application in a hierarchical UAV network environment.
