Instruction sender authentication of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) control is critical for the secure operation of UAV systems. By exploring user touch action characteristics of the user interaction with the UAV control mobile terminal, this paper proposes a novel instruction sender continuous authentication framework for UAV control systems. In particular, we first obtain the touch screen data in real time from the interaction with the mobile device screen of a user when he controls the UAV. Then we create a polynomial to fit the touch trajectory on the screen of the user, and use the least square method to obtain the optimal estimate of the polynomial coefficients. Finally, we mark the grid area covered by the polynomial to extract the user’s touch screen operation action fingerprint(OAF), and employ the fuzzy extractor method to realize the identity authentication of the sender with certain error tolerance. Extensive experiments are conducted to illustrate the authentication performance of the proposed authentication framework in terms of false acceptance rate, false rejection rate and equal-error rate.
