Abstract :
This paper presents a hardware architecture for secure quadrotor communication. Both, the control data sent by the ground station and the information data sent by the quadrotor are encrypted and authenticated. The system is implemented on an FPGA and integrated on an extension board. The board is embedded into a self-constructed quadrotor based on the project Next-Generation Universal Aerial Video Platform.
