Abstract

The article presents the results of research into the possibility of using hybrid cryptosystems to protect FANET sensor network nodes. A model of a hybrid cryptosystem for data encryption, generation of a shared secret key is proposed, and an authentication algorithm in the FANET network based on the TLS protocol and symmetric/asymmetric encryption methods is developed. AES-GCM, ECDSA algorithms were tested for encryption and decryption operations, time characteristics of operations were measured, the number of CPU cycles and energy consumption were determined.

As a result of the conducted research, the expediency of using hybrid cryptosystems by nodes of FANET networks is substantiated, provided that certain requirements for hardware, software and energy resources are met.
