  Abstract

Dronebot combat system is considered to be in charge of its role as a key game changer on the future battlefield. However, due to the nature of drones using the wireless communication, they can be exposed to various cyber threats. And when commercial mobile communication technology developed with emphasis on transmission speed or quality of service, such as 4G LTE or 5G network, is utilized as the underlying network of dronebot combat system, measures must be taken to ensure security. This paper assumes that the dronebot combat system, which the ROK Army is currently operating on the basis of the 4G LTE network, and proposes ways to enhance security through improved authentication. Proposed approach enhances the EPS-AKA authentication procedure applied to 4G LTE network by utilizing PUF-OTP, various security vulnerabilities of existing EPS-AKA are eliminated and security is enhanced. In addition, the authentication procedure was organized by excluding the use of the CRP table in consideration of possible delay in authentication by the CRP table when operating a large number of dronebots. We also suggest ways to allow ground control stations and dronebot to perform the authentication process using the PUF-OTP in case the 4G LTE network fails.
