Abstract

Abstract: A Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cluster access control mechanism based on Ethereum blockchain smart contract is proposed to solve the problems of the strategic stability and low security of UAV cluster access control mechanism. The role-based access control mechanism model is improved, and the formal definition of the access control model for UAV cluster is given. The access control architecture of UAV cluster based on blockchain technology is proposed, and the corresponding basic framework and execution process is proposed, which can effectively reduce the cost of UAV cluster operation management resources, solve the problem of incomplete state information caused by the block bifurcation of unmanned cluster.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle cluster, block chain, smart contract, access control architecture
