BUMAR: A Blockchain-Empowered UAV-Assisted Smart Surveillance Architecture for Marine Areas
Abstract
Trespassing in the marine area is a very critical issue. As a result, countries are losing revenue as well as it's a threat against the sovereignty of the country. As sea area is large, it's not always possible to monitor every part in real-time. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a promising technology that can assist to alleviate this issue. However, communication between the control center and a UAV encircles with cyber threats as well as data in the surveillance may experience unauthorised modification. This paper represents a blockchain-empowered smart surveillance architecture in which UAV performs surveillance and uses a two-phase authentication process to verify the marine vehicles. The experimental result manifests that the proposed scheme is faster and consumes less energy than the existing authentication algorithms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
