Abstract
The proliferation of unmanned aerial Vehicles (UAVs) might be impeded because of rising concerns about citizen privacy in today’s society. Though some protocols and standards like no-fly-zones (NFZs) have been proposed for drone compliance, they expose the operational logistics of the drone in terms of its flight data. AliDrone is a recent protocol that verifies NFZ violations by proof-of-alibi (PoA) via sharing of drone’s trace with a trusted third party Auditor. The protocol leverages upon a trusted execution environment (TEE) to prevent malicious drone operators from forging geo-location information. In AliDrone, since the auditor learns the drone’s flight trace, the privacy of the drone is compromised. HEDrone addresses this issue of drone privacy: it uses homomorphic encryption to enable PoA over encrypted traces.
