ABSTRACT

The consideration of drones for last mile delivery brings with it several challenges that include both physical ones such as battery life, drone range, carrying capacity, and form factor of the drone as well as those related to security and privacy of the parties associated with any given packet as well as its content. Privacy and security aspects are significant since last mile delivery drones operate outside the warehouse and are not under complete control of the delivery service operator. This is especially salient with respect to communications between the drone and outside entities that are not necessarily authorised for such communication by the operator. Even if such outside entities are authorised to communicate with the drone, while it is in the open, there may be restrictions on the types of information it can reveal to any given external entity. In addition to an overview of the main security and privacy issues in drone-based last mile delivery, we discuss general security and privacy issues and how these translate to drone-based last mile delivery. We consider various facets of issues related to privacy and security of drone-based last mile delivery. Specifically, we study risks associated with privacy and security in this environment with specific emphasis on those related to codes, external entities, and communication signals. We then identify some of the gaps in associated extant academic literature that could potentially be addressed in future studies.

摘要

将无人机用于最后一英里交付带来了一些挑战，包括电池寿命、无人机航程、承载能力和无人机外形等物理挑战，以及与任何相关方的安全和隐私相关的挑战。给定的数据包及其内容。隐私和安全方面非常重要，因为最后一英里送货无人机在仓库外运行，并且不受送货服务运营商的完全控制。这对于无人机与外部实体之间的通信尤其重要，这些外部实体不一定被操作员授权进行此类通信。即使此类外部实体被授权与无人机进行通信，但当无人机处于开放状态时，它可以向任何给定外部实体透露的信息类型可能受到限制。除了概述基于无人机的最后一英里交付的主要安全和隐私问题之外，我们还讨论一般安全和隐私问题以及这些问题如何转化为基于无人机的最后一英里交付。我们考虑与基于无人机的最后一英里交付的隐私和安全相关的问题的各个方面。具体来说，我们研究这种环境中与隐私和安全相关的风险，特别强调与代码、外部实体和通信信号相关的风险。然后，我们确定了相关现有学术文献中的一些空白，这些空白可能在未来的研究中得到解决。我们讨论一般安全和隐私问题，以及如何将这些问题转化为基于无人机的最后一英里交付。我们考虑与基于无人机的最后一英里交付的隐私和安全相关的问题的各个方面。具体来说，我们研究这种环境中与隐私和安全相关的风险，特别强调与代码、外部实体和通信信号相关的风险。然后，我们确定了相关现有学术文献中的一些空白，这些空白可能在未来的研究中得到解决。我们讨论一般安全和隐私问题，以及如何将这些问题转化为基于无人机的最后一英里交付。我们考虑与基于无人机的最后一英里交付的隐私和安全相关的问题的各个方面。具体来说，我们研究这种环境中与隐私和安全相关的风险，特别强调与代码、外部实体和通信信号相关的风险。然后，我们确定了相关现有学术文献中的一些空白，这些空白可能在未来的研究中得到解决。和通讯信号。然后，我们确定了相关现有学术文献中的一些空白，这些空白可能在未来的研究中得到解决。和通讯信号。然后，我们确定了相关现有学术文献中的一些空白，这些空白可能在未来的研究中得到解决。
