Distributed Cellular Framework for Secure Drone Delivery Services

This paper describes in-depth the architecture of a Distributed Cellular framework for Secure Drone Delivery Services with an additional security layer. Delivery Drones are Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that are responsible for the transportation of goods from one place to another place. In the modern world, with several e-commerce platforms, everything is traded, promoted, advertised online. This causes the need to deliver the packages rapidly and within a stipulated period of time. Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones come into the picture to retort the above-mentioned issue. Security nowadays has become a major concern where hackers are diverting the network traffic, hijacking, and crashing the drones. In order to prevent these attacks from taking place, this paper proposes a strong security framework to minimize these attacks from taking place. The proposed architecture has an additional layer of security which covers the two-factor and multi-factor authentication at the delivery spot. There exists an integration of different sensors like Obstacle detection, SOS detection, Facial Recognition, etc. Beyond the security framework, a distributed cellular network is applied to the delivery services to scatter the drones cell-wise and largen the scope to all remote areas.
