| Summary: | For current unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network handover authentication protocols in cloud-edge colla-borative environments suffered from low efficiency and lack of physical security, an efficient handover authentication protocol based on physical unclonable function was proposed, which achieved lightweight handover authentication for UAV between different ground stations within a cloud-edge architecture. The protocol employed an anonymous response segmentation method using additive congruence to protect challenge-response pair (CRP) against machine learning attacks. A Chinese remainder theorem-based dynamic CRP fragmentation mechanism was developed for batch synchronization, enabling regional non-real-time pre-negotiation to enhance efficiency and stability during real-time handover authentication. Security analysis and performance evaluation demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves enhanced security attributes while reducing computational overhead at ground stations by over 9.1% and overall communication costs by over 13.8% compared to existing protocols. |
